This ‘Lion Man’ sculpture is 40,000 years old, with the head of a cave lion and a partly human body. He is the oldest known representation of a being that does not exist in nature but symbolises ideas about the supernatural. Found in a cave in what is now southern Germany, the sculpture was carved from mammoth ivory – a process thought to have taken around 400 hours using Ice Age tools. It is the earliest evidence we have of beliefs and practices, and shows humans’ unique ability to communicate what’s in our minds through objects.
Our new #LivingWithTheGods exhibition begins with the Lion Man and provides a perspective on what makes believing a vital part of human behaviour – find out more via the link in our bio.
Exhibition supported by the Genesis Foundation. With grateful thanks to John Studzinski CBE.
