The portable art was carved out of bone, antler, or stone, or modeled in clay.
In 1902 archaeologists publicly recognized the existence of cave art.
Some scholars are exploring a variation on this theory: that cave art was created in a ritual of renewal and that redrawing a picture each year, sometimes directly on top of an old drawing, was intended to ensure the return of that species each spring.

Scenes, in which figures are shown interacting, are very hard to identify in Paleolithic art since it is often impossible to prove a deliberate association between figures as opposed to their simple juxtaposition.
But knowledge of cave art expanded as further discoveries were made, and it became clear that there is a complex, albeit undeciphered, meaning behind the subject matter of cave art and its location.
Ritual and magic were seen in every aspect of Paleolithic art-in the breakage of decorated objects and in representation of animals ritually killed with images of missiles or even physically attacked.

The Aurignacian art of France is restricted to so-called vulvas, some footprints of lions or cave bears and very simple animals (Delluc 1991).
Whereas the red series has mainly parallels in Gravettian or Early Solutrean art, the fl series corresponds in many details with the cave and portable art of Early and to a less degree of Middle Magdalenian, even if there is also a great number of special features not known in other caves up to now.
Its occurrence in cave art is therefore a very important hint to the age of the paintings.
