A stunning #IceAge masterpiece: a big cat (thought to be a snow leopard) carved in mammoth ivory more some 40,000 years ago! Length 8.7 cm, found at the Vogelherd Cave on the Swabian Jura.
On display at Museum Universität Tübingen

@ninawillburger 40,000 years? Amazing!
@ninawillburger@social.anoxinon.de Beautifull! Thanks for showing!
@ninawillburger Dazu gebe ich gerne zwei Fotografien der Vogelherdhöhle. Einmal von Innen und einmal den östlichen Zugang.
I would like to include two photographs of the Vogelherd cave. Once from the inside and once the eastern entrance.
40.000.Years. It's a #jawdropping Piece of #Art. The #Head so well worked out and the Rest is brilliant too.

nice
short on legs
couple time of move will cause
@ninawillburger It's a whole collection with several more really stunning pieces from the same period like a horse and - for me most impressing - a flute. When you tab on the pictures you get more information and in case of the flute a recording how the reconstructed instrument sounds.
