The Faces of the Solutreans

i just found this article this morning,

Bordeaux (AFP) - Her clothes are made from fur, hemp and nettle and for decoration she sports ivory and bone beads. She has dark hair worn in dreadlocks, tattoos and a penetrating stare.





Dubbed "the woman from the Pataud shelter", little is known about this figure from prehistory -- except how she might have looked.

Although the dreadlocks and tattoos are pure conjecture, modern scientific techniques mean the facial features of a long-dead person can now be accurately reconstructed.

Former French make-up artist turned palaeontology expert and sculptor Elisabeth Daynes, has painstakingly created a model of Pataud woman.

Believed to have lived around 17,000 years ago in France's southwestern Dordogne region, her skeleton was found there in a rock shelter.

The life-size model is one of two star attractions at an exhibition being held at a Bordeaux gallery entitled "The Origins of Flesh -- our ancestors as you've never seen them before".

Thank you,

Nice to see something of this caliber in an exhibit.

Nice details in craftsmanship to the artist involved.

I'd wear the clothes and jewelry but where and to what occasion? LOL
As for the partly shaved head...um, no.

She could be a local in my neighborhood, minus the patchouli and fixy.

a reply to: punkinworks10

well...and that 1000 yard stare. She could gut an auroch with just a glance.

She looks like she just caught her man checking out a girl from the neighboring clan.

a reply to: punkinworks10

LOL...i like that. A little modern context.

Whatever she's doing, i sure wouldn't mess with her right now. She doesn't seem to be in the mood.

Or ,
"You've got another thing coming, if you think I'm getting in that boat and chasing after some magical land, across the great waters at the setting sun."

"And no , you are not taking my fathers points with you."

Does She answer to Lilith? I could see a Lady of that stature telling Adamu to wash His own dishes and do His own ironing...

A Mother to One is a Mother to ALL...
