Bruniquel Spearthrower Replica

Bruniquel Horse Spearthrower – Paleolithic Atlatl Replica The Bruniquel Horse Spearthrower is one of the most refined surviving examples of Upper Paleolithic portable art and prehistoric hunting technology. Originally discovered in Bruniquel, France and dated to the Magdalenian period, this remarkable propulseur combines practical function with elegant animal sculpture, reflecting the technical sophistication and artistic sensitivity of Ice Age hunter-gatherer societies. Used to increase the force and precision of hunting spears, Paleolithic spearthrowers — also known as atlatls or propulseurs — became important symbolic and artistic objects within prehistoric culture. The sculpted horse figure, elongated proportions and flowing organic silhouette give this artifact a remarkable sense of movement and refinement. This handcrafted reproduction faithfully recreates the appearance of aged carved antler through layered earthy pigments, mineral tones and archaeological textures. Cast in high-quality resin and individually hand-painted in our workshop, the piece preserves the worn surfaces, engraved details and porous finish associated with excavated prehistoric artifacts. Its slender proportions and sculptural character make it ideal for prehistoric art collections, archaeology enthusiasts, educational displays and museum-inspired interiors. As an optional addition, we offer a collector pack featuring both iconic Paleolithic spearthrowers: Bruniquel Horse Spearthrower Faon aux Oiseaux Propulseur from Mas-d’Azil Each piece is individually hand-finished, meaning subtle variations in tone and texture may occur, making every replica slightly unique.
