Portable art

prehistoric portable art were small mobile pieces that could be carried from place to place and includes animal figurines, weapons decorated with animals, and the venus figurines. All of these art pieces reveal some level of symbol or religious artifice. They all depict the animals, most often game that was hunted for food, in naturalistic fashion in the same way as the animals in the cave paintings.
