Talismans for Mammoth Hunters • Set Two

These are inspired by Neanderthal cultures, imagined talismans fashioned from fabric and bone, hair and shell. The skill and effort required to bring down these gigantic animals must have required a staggering amount of skill, physical strength and nerve. Considering this led me to fashion these talismans - I imagined they might be concealed in clothing to bestow luck or used in pre-hunting rituals.
