Prehistoric Sculpture

Prehistoric sculpture refers to three-dimensional artworks created by humans before written records, primarily during the Stone Age. These sculptures often depict animals, human figures, or abstract forms and were made from materials such as stone, bone, ivory, and clay. Notable examples include the Venus figurines, which celebrate fertility, and ancient reliefs found in cave art. These works provide insight into the beliefs, cultures, and environments of early humans, reflecting their relationship with nature, spirituality, and their social structures. Prehistoric sculptures are key to understanding human creativity and expression before the advent of written history.
