Human profile known as "the Hunter"

Profil humain dit "le Chasseur". Abris sculptés de la Préhistoire.
5936

Human figure whose head is missing. The lack of breasts and the position of the body led archaeologists to think it was a hunter, hence the name. Block cut from the wall after its discovery in 1910. Dated to the Gravettian, this block from the Laussel Shelter (Marquay, Dordogne) is currently on display at the Musée d'Aquitaine.
