An introduction to the study of prehistoric art . Fifi. igrjeonnet. — Cour-Stone. J. \). Astley \\-\Jo. Aitthrop. Jnstitute, (lyi 1), p. 83. ^ LEspagne Prchisloricjue in Rev. Quest. Scientif. (1893), p. 542, Fig. 271, THE NEOLITHIC OR NEW STONE AGE 159 bead in the middle, and beneath this is an axe in itshandle^ {Fig. 191). On the wall of a cave at Coizard,in the same district, a similar carving- is seen. It is an im-provement on the preceding for the eyes are indicated byblack spots. Below the necklace, the large centre head ofwhich is coloured yellow, the breasts are indicated. Inanother cave at Coizard, a wall carving shows the nose,but not the eyes (Fig. 192). The mouth, however, is un-mistakable, and the necklace below is composed of fourrows. More interesting are sculptures in sandstone inAveyron ; the so-called statues-menhirs. At Pousthomy.
