Gargas (English spelling)

Japanese: ガルガス(英語表記)Gargas
Gargas (English spelling)
A Paleolithic cave art site in the Hautes-Pyrenees department, on the border with Spain in southern France. It dates to the Aurignacian period. A group of positive and negative handprints were made along the rock wall from the floor of the so-called "Church of the Hands." The handprints are painted red or black, and of the 150, 124 are of the left hand. Some of the handprints have had one or more fingers amputated, and some scholars believe that these have a special religious meaning due to their connection with tribal finger-amputation rituals.

フランス南部,スペインとの国境に接するオート・ピレネー県にある旧石器時代の洞窟美術遺跡。オーリニャック文化期のもの。陽型および陰型の手形が,いわゆる〈手形の聖堂〉の床から岩壁に沿って群れをなして押されている。手形は赤または黒の彩色が施され,150あるうち124が左手。1指もしくは2指以上の指が切断されたものがあるが,部族社会における指の切断儀礼との関連から,これらに特殊な宗教的意味を認める学者がいる。
