About The Sorcerer
The Sorcerer is a figure depicted on an Upper Paleolithic cave painting found in the Sanctuary at the Cave of the Trois-Frères in Ariège, France. The date of its creation has been estimated around 13,000 BCE. The figure's significance is unknown, but has been interpreted as a shamanic "great spirit" or master of animals. The unusual nature of the Sanctuary's decoration may also reflect the practice of magical ceremonies in the chamber. A single prominent human figure is unusual in the cave paintings of the Upper Paleolithic, where the great majority of representations are of animals.
