    Within the artistic traditions of South Siberia and northern Central Asia, significant representations of female figures did not disappear with the Paleolithic period.

To generalize, however, and to insist that a prior text is a condition for visual narration is mistaken. Indeed, it can be argued that the existence of a prior text should be of secondary significance in the viewing of narrative representation through pictorial forms. The assumptio…
