Note 244 — Chapter VII · THE GODS AND THE SONS OF GOD

See, for instance, the wonderful bas-relief of a neighing horse, the swans and the horse heads (p. 72); the beautiful statuettes of reindeer carved in mammoth tusks (Plates III. and IV.); the horse in mammoth tusk (Plate VI.); the exquisite fragment of a fat woman (not pregnant) carved in ivory (Plate LXXI.); and the statuette in ivory (pregnant woman, Plate LXXIII.); the fine engraving of chamois on reindeer antler (Plate LXXXIII.); and the sphinx-like creature (Plate LII.). The pregnant woman on Plate XXVII. (Fig. 5) is also interesting; while there are various halters of reindeer antler, and mammoths, all of which show wonderful accuracy of representation with the simplest possible means of expression.
