Description
English: Bone pendant decorated with an engraved drawing of a wolverine, Late Magdalenian, around 12,500 years old. Les Eyzies, Dordogne, France. May come from the cave called "grotte des Eyzies" (cave of les Eyzies), which is the cave also called "grotte Richard". This object is part of the collections of the British museum, n° 102 in Ann Sieveking's catalogue. See Alain Roussot, Le Périgord et l'art paléolithique au British Muséum. A propos du Catalogue d'Ann Sieveking [trad. : "The Perigord region and palaeolithic art at the British museum.

Français : Collection du British museum, Londres, n° 102 dans le catalogue par Ann Sieveking. Provenance : les Eyzies, Dordogne, France. Pendentif en os gravé d'un glouton, daté du Magdalénien final, vers 12 500 ans d'âge. Sa provenance exacte est inconnue ; il vient peut-être de la "grotte des Eyzies", autre nom de la grotte Richard ; provenance proposée par Ann Sieveking sur base de comparaisons stylistiques avec d'autres objets livrés par les sites préhistoriques des environs. Voir Alain Roussot, Le Périgord et l'art paléolithique au British Muséum. A propos du Catalogue d'Ann Sieveking, Bulletin de la Société historique et archéologique du Périgord, t. 115, 1988, p. 289-313, image et légende de cet objet p. 293, fig. 1 : dessin par Alain Roussot d'après photographies. Le commentaire détaillé de cette figure est en p. 291. Cette pièce appartenait à Peccadeau de l'Isle ; elle a été présentée à l'Exposition Universelle de 1867, puis acquise en 1887 par Franks, conservateur du département archéologique au British museum. Si l'animal représenté est bien un glouton, c'est la deuxième figuration de cette espèce provenant de la grotte Richard (l'autre, gravé sur une omoplate de cheval, porte le n° 114 dans le catalogue d'Ann Sieveking ; voir fig. 2 p. 294 dans Alain Roussot 1988).
