The Kendrick's Cave Decorated Horse Jaw is one of the finest pieces of portable artwork dated to the end of the last Ice Age or Late Glacial period that has been found in Britain. Others in Britain include the Robin Hood Cave Horse and the Pin Hole Cave man. It is the oldest known piece of portable art from Wales. When originally acquired by the British Museum in 1959, the jaw was dated to between 8,000 and 25,000 years old but radiocarbon dating methods have enabled it to more accurately dated to the Upper Palaeolithic era, about 10,000 years ago.

  • The Kendrick's Cave Decorated Horse Jaw is one of the finest pieces of portable artwork dated to the end of the last Ice Age or Late Glacial period that has been found in Britain. Others in Britain include the Robin Hood Cave Horse and the Pin Hole Cave man. It is the oldest known piece of portable art from Wales.

The jaw was found by Thomas Kendrick, a lapidary, in 1880 at Kendrick's Cave, Llandudno, Wales. It now forms part of the Christy Collection in the British Museum, where it is normally on display in Room 2. In 2013 it was displayed in the exhibition at the British Museum Ice Age Art: Arrival of the Modern Mind. (en)
