[Bonetools] decorated antler

[Jean-Marc Petillon]

Now that's funny, we had the same kind of story a few years ago with a
Magdalenian staff ("bâton percé") from the Trilobite cave in
Arcy-sur-Cure. The object was discovered in 1886 and published several
times since, but nobody noticed the decoration until draughtswoman
Danièle Molez set out to make a proper drawing of it, cleaned it a bit
and saw the carved reindeer. The pdf is attached for those who can read
French. That said, I always felt that using micro-CT scanning and 3D
microscopy to read an Upper Paleolithic carving was like using a
hydraulic press to swat a fly, but I must just be old-fashioned...
