The gate of the year

A scene engraved on the wall of the cave of the Trois-Frères (Ariège,France), generally interpreted as the representation of a bison-masked dancer, playing a musical instrument that could be a flute. In this case, too, one could recognize a shamanic ritual for the calling of the game, since the figure is inserted in a large composition in which several animals seem to turn around it.
