One of the best and most complete engravings of theho7se was discovered in a very different district, viz. in thecave of Kesserloch,in the commune ofThayngen, near LakeConstance. It is exe-cuted on horn and isparticularly interestingbecause the mane andhair of the body areindicated by series ofparallel short lines(Fig. 62). The onlyengraving yet discovered in Britain is that of a horse shead on a rib. It was found by Prof Boyd Dawkins inthe Robin Hood Cave, at Cresswell Craggs in Fig. 62.—Engraving in reindeer , Thayngen.
