[IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/x369c.jpg[/IMG] [b]Jabbaren: 'Antinea': Post-Bovidian Period with Egyptian Influence[/b] Other than touch ups to the breast, thigh, and buttocks the above reworking is the same as in Lhote's book. Lhote's commentary: This magnificent female figure was found in the so-called 'Aard-Vark' shelter at Jabbaren where it is situated in the least accessible part of the grotto and screened from outside by a huge rock. The shelter had been occupied (previously to the execution of the paintings) by Bovidians, who left here remains of their repasts and a number of artifacts. The great picture covers, to the extreme right, a little round-headed figure, while a Bovidian personage in red ochre seems to have been em- bodied in the head-dress of 'Antinea'. The profile is typically 'European' -- Greek one might almost say. It is in marked contrast with the coarse faces of the 'magistrates' (No. 30) and of the women of the Upper Jabbaren (List of Styles No. 1) which, nevertheless, belong to the same art-phase and are all executed in similar colors. The head-dress seems to indicate an important personage. Here, once more, we see the head- band or high cap which is characteristic of this school of painting, but the upper part of the head-dress is different and appears to contain an attribute whose form is not unlike that of the Egyptian [i]pshent[/i]. The hand seems to be covered by a frill or finge. [/qb][/QUOTE]I hate to keep playing conspiracy theorist but... anachronistic is understating things. [IMG]http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx108/khazraj/poncholadies.jpg[/IMG] I hope this is supposed to be a rendition of the original painting. [IMG]http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx108/khazraj/Fashion-1880.jpg[/IMG]From 1880 [IMG]http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx108/khazraj/karllagerfeld.jpg[/IMG] Karl Lagereld in the house... of Chanel that is. Some thing's never change I guess - including European depictions of themselves. BTW - the poncho is ancient South American fashion statement not an Iberian one. They started wearing them in Europe during World War I about the time colonialists were venturing into the Sahara engaging in their rock artistry so to speak. Not to nitpick but, for this reason I thus still have questions and reservations about the antiquity and age of this specific artwork where females appear to be wearing poncho-like articles of clothing.
