Head Bison
what does the cave painting “bird-headed man with bison” represent?
it is not known for sure what any of the figures in the Lascaux caves represent. A good text on this subject gives four possible explanations as to what they represent. It is suggested in this text that this specific image of a bird-headed man might be of a shaman in an ecstatic trance. The writer to whom the text refers compares this representation to that of a a cow sacrifice by the Siberian Yakuts in which there are posts topped by birds similar to the ones depicted in the Lascaux scene. These auxiliary spirits help the shaman accomplish his journey while he is unconscious.http://www.physikgarden.com/glasshouse/RD/rd01.html
Another discussion of this image is at http://www.integrating-technology.com/blog/an-examination-of-lascaux-cave.html when it is suggested that the man with the bird-like head could be some sort of sorcerer hunting the bison. Perhaps this depiction was created to ensure a good hunt for the season
