The Lion-Human figure from Hohlenstein-Stadel struck me the most. Probably be cause I love animals and I love fantasy art. I think the piece really showed how important animals are to humans and how we see animals. I think this figure represented a god of some sort or a powerful person of the tribe since a lion represents power and pride (King of the jungle). I related the figure to this picture of Lebron James. LeBron's nick name in the NBA is "The King" he is considered by many as the best basketball player of this generation. He is represented almost all the time by a lion to symbolise his domiance on the basketball court just as this figure may have been a dominate figure of his/her time.
