The Lowenmensch (Lion Man) Figure - The one of the oldest known uncontested example of figurative art - 40,000 BC
About 40,000 years ago at the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic period, the Swabian Jura was part of the landscape inhabited by early, anatomically modern humans (homo sapiens). In small groups they moved through valleys scarred by the last ice age. They were hunting mammoth, reindeer, bison, wild horse and other prey. We find evidence of human occupation of caves in this area from the trace remains of campfires, and from tools, weapons and jewellery made from stone, bone, antler and ivory.
Excavation of four of these caves has revealed a number of small sculpted objects. Carved in mammoth ivory using stone tools are effigies of large animals which were of great importance to the hunters of that era.
The tallest and most spectacular of the ivory figurines is the Lion Man, an evidently mythical creature which is half man/half beast (therianthropic).
