The 'Red Lady of Paviland', remains of a partial human skeleton covered in red ochre, was discovered by William Buckland in 1823 during an excavation of Goat's Hole Cave in South Wales, United Kingdom. The skeleton was found accompanied by shell beads and carved ivory, which lead Buckland (Oxford University's first reader in Geology) to conclude the skeleton belonged to a woman. Scientists later determined the skeleton actually belonged to a young man, and carbon-dating techniques suggest the bones are approximately 34,000 years old. This makes the 'Red Lady' one of the oldest examples of ceremonial burial in Western Europe.

This collection contains the reconstructed Red Lady skeleton, as well as individual models of each bone.

Casts of the Red Lady of Paviland skeleton seen in this model are currently on display at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in Oxford, UK.
