ABOUT
Cave painting, prehistoric hunting scene necklace in sterling silver
The "Cave painting" necklace is an exceptional piece of art crafted in silver, meticulously engraved to depict a deer hunting scene. This motif is inspired by the famous cave paintings of Barranc de la Valltorta, in the Valencia region of Spain. These prehistoric artworks date back to around 10,000 BCE, belonging to the Epipaleolithic era, and were discovered in the Cave of Horses (Cova dels Cavalls). These paintings were declared a historic monument in 1924.
To pay homage to this ancient painting, we have chosen a section where the silhouette of a man armed with a bow and arrows is clearly visible, aiming at a herd of moving deer. This dynamic scene is likely a representation of a battue, a collective hunt requiring the cooperation of several hunters.
To give this scene a unique and realistic dimension, we have engraved it on a domed disc, adding volume and character to the piece. The edge of the disc is adorned with a tribal motif formed by a chain of triangles, symbols of strength and stability. These triangles also evoke cooperation, essential for the success of prehistoric hunts.
The "Cave painting" necklace provides a tangible connection to our ancestors and their way of life. Perfect for prehistory enthusiasts, this necklace is the ideal choice to adorn your neck with elegance and historical depth. The engraving, done with a slightly rustic effect, evokes the raw and authentic nature of that ancient time, adding a touch of old-world charm to a modern creation.
Express your passion for history and prehistoric art with this unique piece of jewelry, capturing the essence of a bygone era while offering a contemporary and sophisticated aesthetic.
