  • La piedra decorada de Montastruc (Palart 518) es un ejemplo del arte paleolítico, que ahora se encuentra en el Museo británico. En ella se ha grabado una figura humana, que parece ser la de una mujer, para decorar un fragmento de una roca caliza utilizada como lámpara. La pieza se obtuvo en la cueva de Coubert, en Montastruc, en Tarn y Garona, Mediodía-Pirineos, Francia, en la orilla norte del río Aveyron, afluente del Tarn. Está datada alrededor del año 11 000 a. de C., dentro del período Magdaleniense tardío del Paleolítico superior, hacia el final de la última Edad de Hielo. Fue encontrada en las excavaciones realizadas por Édouard Lartet y Henry Christy en 1863, quien la legó, con muchas otras piezas, al citado museo. (es)

  • La piedra decorada de Montastruc (Palart 518) es un ejemplo del arte paleolítico, que ahora se encuentra en el Museo británico. En ella se ha grabado una figura humana, que parece ser la de una mujer, para decorar un fragmento de una roca caliza utilizada como lámpara. La pieza se obtuvo en la cueva de Coubert, en Montastruc, en Tarn y Garona, Mediodía-Pirineos, Francia, en la orilla norte del río Aveyron, afluente del Tarn. Está datada alrededor del año 11 000 a. de C., dentro del período Magdaleniense tardío del Paleolítico superior, hacia el final de la última Edad de Hielo. Fue encontrada en las excavaciones realizadas por Édouard Lartet y Henry Christy en 1863, quien la legó, con muchas otras piezas, al citado museo. La piedra tiene unas dimensiones de 23 cm de largo, 14.5 cm de ancho y un altura de 5.2 cm.​ El Swimming Reindeer ("el reno que nada" y el fueron encontrados en el mismo lugar. Generalmente no están en exposición, pero entre el 7 de febrero y el 26 de mayo de 2013 fueron exhibidos como parte de la exposición Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind.​ El anverso de la losa de caliza presenta una hendidura natural en la que se quemaba grasa, probablemente para iluminar el refugio en la roca. El grabado parece haber sido realizado una vez que se rompió la lámpara de piedra, ya que la figura parece centrada en el fragmento con mucha pulcritud. La figura sin cabeza se muestra de lado, inclinada hacia la derecha, con grandes muslos y nalgas cuidadosamente dibujados. El torso delgado muestra un pequeño triángulo agudo que puede representar los pechos, o quizás un arma. Las dos líneas que definen la parte delantera y trasera del perfil son continuas y "dibujadas con confianza", aunque convergen al nivel de las rodillas. Unas líneas adicionales bajo la cintura pueden representar un delantal o falda.​ Las , en Alemania, presentan características similares. (es)

The dimensions of the object are: length 23 cm (9.1 in), width 14.5 cm (5.7 in), depth 5.2 cm (2.0 in). It is not normally on display, but between 7 February and 26 May 2013 it was displayed in an exhibition at the British Museum, Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind The Swimming Reindeer and Mammoth spear thrower were found at the same site. The other side of the slab of limestone has a natural depression in which fat was burnt, likely for lighting the rock shelter. The engraving seems to have been made after the stone lamp broke, as the figure is neatly centered on the fragment. The headless figure is shown from the side, bending to the right, with the large rounded buttocks and thigh carefully drawn. The thin torso features a small sharp triangle that may indicate the breasts, or perhaps arms held out. The two lines defining the front and rear of the profile are continuous and "confidently drawn", though they converge at knee level. Extra lines below the waist may represent an apron or skirt. Similar characteristics can be found in engraved figures from Neuwied in Germany. (en)
