Small figurines (like “fertility statues” and whatnot) could easily have been used to advertise cathouses, or were presents for mom from little kids. The idea that the famous stone age cave paintings were made by kids is starting to catch on as well.
That’s what I’m saying. That Lion man/woman was little more than a doll if you ask me. The face is downright cute! Some little cave tot probably loved the big kitties, so their parents carved them one that wouldn’t eat the whole clan.
