Vintage folk art made out of a prehistoric bone
This unique piece of folk art depicts the head of a musk ox, crafted from the occiput – the part of the skull that connects to the spine – of a prehistoric cave bear. It originates from Ariège, a mountainous region in southern France known for its many caves where cave bear remains are frequently found. While the bone itself is prehistoric, the painted artwork was likely created sometime in the 20th century.
This striking object would make a perfect addition to any cabinet of curiosities or collection of folk art and fossils!
