- Description
- Le Portel, France. Ithyphallic design. 2/2 The genesis of this human figuration, done in very rough treatment (it belongs to an early phase of the Aurignaco-Perigordian cycle), carries a strong psychological interest. A stalagmitic relief at right angles to the wall was apparently endowed with a symbolic meaning. This appendage was created a human silhouette, its neck well indicated, its face turned to the left, given life by a finely done eye. T
