Comment:
The ceiling and wall of this passage have a large number of paintings and engravings produced at different times. The most important are the negative hand images, painted with sprayed red paint, red dots, a large number of yellowish or orange-colored bison, and finally a group of animal engravings superimposed on all. On the left of this panel, at a lower height, there are a number of abstract signs, mostly quadrilaterals.
