Group Ia - Reindeer-fox

Reindeer and artic fox

This is the front part of a magnificent reindeer, made with deep cuts. The reindeer is 85 cm long from the horns to the hoofs and it may represent an animal starting to stand up from a sitting position.

The head has been depicted with great care. Between the eye and the area of the nose there are a series of fine cuts, like those frequently seen in similar art mobilier representations of this animal.

Inside the neck region of the reindeer, there is a carving of a 25 cm long fox. The animal has been deeply carved. The ears are relatively short, and this, together with the presence of the reindeer, may suggest that this is an Artic species which no longer inhabits the region.
