Amazing! Art was there from the very beginning.

"Carved from mammoth ivory around 40,000 years ago, the Vogelherd Horse belongs among humanity’s earliest known figurative artworks. Archaeologists found it inside Germany’s Vogelherd Cave, a site linked to Aurignacian communities.

Measuring 4.8 centimetres long and 2.5 centimetres high, the tiny sculpture captures a horse with a curved neck and powerful posture. Its missing legs have not erased the artist’s careful work or clear sense of movement.

Who carved it, and what did the horse mean to people living through the Ice Age? ??"
