This cultural heritage was left to the following generations by the people of the past. Their way of life, the surrounding area, and the animals they observed all had an impact on it.
Paintings are easy to come by, but sculptures are more difficult to locate. Because they are either more difficult to make or more difficult to keep in good condition, they are the most uncommon type of prehistoric art. Therefore, they will be even more exciting and fascinating when they are discovered. Due to its exceptional longevity—about 15,000 years—the sculpture of two bison is rare.
Three young men named the Bégouen brothers accidentally discovered the extremely rare sculpture in 1912. The 15,000-year age of these sculptures was determined by carbon dating.
The discovery was made in the Tuc d’Audoubert cave in the French Pyrenees.
The sculptures have dimensions of 2 feet in length, 18 inches in height, and 4 inches in depth. The clay sculptures are placed next to one another on a rock. They were given a wet finish by the artist who created them to make them appear smooth.
