Cheval Chinois

From the cave paintings in Lascaux in southwestern France, comes this tapestry of horses, painted over 17, 300 years ago. These paintings found in this region are mainly of animals such as horses and bulls, other animals, start charts, as well as abstract designs. These designs are Paleolithic art which are late stone age art before agriculture was established. Tools were begun to be developed, and art, as seen here by these paintings, also took on a life and history of its own. The art consists overall of over 2000 figures, some of which are not identified as to their subject. In this tapestry we see a horse in motion from this extraordinary collection of prehistoric art. This tapestry is backed with a lining and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
