Carved into a limestone block in a rock shelter at Laussel in the Dordogne, a woman with heavy breasts, belly and hips raises a horn in one hand and rests the other on her stomach. She belongs to the Gravettian culture of about 25,000 years ago and was once coloured with red ochre. The block was found in 1911.
Look closer
The horn bears thirteen notches, which some read as a count of lunar months or cycles in a year. Her faceless head turns towards it.
