mobiliary art

Many references on the internet to "mobiliary and parietal art"

Have a look in particular at http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=olv7LzKg0CEC&pg=PA402&lpg...

Sorry for the long link but it does lead to an Archaeology dictionary that says mobiliary art is a generic term used to describe smaller movable art objects.

Portable art

Some more context wouldn't go amiss - just to be sure.

Definition: "the term portable art refers to objects carved during the Upper Paleolithic period (40,000-20,000 years ago) of prehistory that can be moved, in contrast to cave art"

source: Dictionary of Archaeology (Krist Hirst)


"Portable art: One of the two major categories of Paleolithic art, along with mural art. Portable art includes all decorated materials that can be moved or carried; found throughout Europe and much of the Old World"
