It does make one wonder, I have recently argued on a sculpture forum that knappers were the first artists. Was it just functional purposes that made them turn out these works of art? It couldn't be just that, although mastercraftsman are just as skilled as sculptors, and I don't detract from them, the original knappers had to consider the beauty of the material they were gripping, and some "higher"(?) sense led them to produce these treasures. They wanted to create something better, or exceptional? In my mind that made them artists. even though the oldest effigies seem crude, or so primative, these points are without a doubt art.
That's right 10,000year old fine art.
Congrats to your dad and thanks for posting
Very pretty!
