| 释义 |
The Adorant from the Geißenklösterle cave is a 35,000-to-40,000-year-old section of mammoth ivory with a depiction of a human figure, found in the Geißenklösterle cave in the Swabian Jura near Blaubeuren, Germany. The front face has a human figure of uncertain sex in relief, with raised arms and outstretched legs, but no hands. The posture is usually interpreted as an expression of worship, which is why in German the figure is called an "adorant", a word meaning "worshipper". It has been claimed that a belt and sword can be seen, although these are probably natural features of the ivory.[1] On the plate's reverse are rows of small notches.[2] The piece was found in 1979 and is now in the Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart. It is {{convert|38|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} tall, {{convert|14|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} wide, and {{convert|4.5|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} thick. Traces of manganese and ochre can be found on it by microscope analysis.[3] See also
