Description: Horse and signs in black
Depiction: Horse, signs
Chronology: Style IV. Magdalenian. ca.16000-11500 BP

Comment:
This figure of a horse, apparently headless, faces right and was outlined in black paint. It uses the natural shape of the rock, and as a result its cervical-dorsal is noticeably curved. Further black lines on the right appear to be abstract signs. However, some of the lines seem to form simple animal figures too, especially those in the neck of the horse, where the belly and rear-quarters of a smaller animal can be identified.
