Also this! I mean, seriously: What's going on here at #Lascaux? #BirdOnAStick 😉

@[email protected] @[email protected] I totally agree, and I also find some Paleolithic cave art way more "narrative" or "scenic" than this one.

(Forgot to alt-text the image, so here we go: Photo of the so-called shaft scene in Lascaux Cave showing a bison, a man lying in front of it, and a a bird-figure on a stick underneath. There's an additional line at the man's feet and another one crossing the bison's back.)

For those interested: The "bird on a stick" has been discussed as possibly representing a #SpearThrower. https://t.co/PSNZKLyHQJ

Here's a particular nice #Magdalenien (i.e. 13,000 BCE) example of such a #SpearThrower with animal decoration (facsimile, though) from the cave of Le Mas d'Azil, SW #France.
