Prehistoric Art in Bone: Carved Sculpture on Antler Represents a Goat Head. The discovery of this sculpture at the Tito Bustillo Cave in the 1980s marked an important milestone in understanding prehistoric art. Measuring 78 mm long, 25 mm high, and 13 mm thick, the sculpture is carved from a fragment of antler, likely from a deer's femur. The goat head is rendered in rounded form, with detailed features such as eyes that are recessed with a cylindrical profile. The horns, beard, and masseter muscle are skillfully sculpted to create a lifelike appearance. Fine incisions were used to add texture to the fur and emphasize the modeling of the sculpture.
