Notes: |
Abstract: Lapa dos Gaivões it's a Rock Art shelter located in Arronches. It's the largest and the most significant amount of paintings of Serra dos Louções, which can be sub-divided into various panels, and which were studied by Breuil in 1916. One must point out the anthropomorphic schematizations, several of them presenting arched arms legs and arms, sometimes even with three pairs of appendages; there is also at least one case of protuberances on the upper part of the figure. One can find zoomorphic figures as well, and among these there is a large bull, a deer, a dog, a comb-shaped animal, and serpentlike or zigzag lines, series of dots and lines, etc. In 1961, A.de Castro and V. Ferreira have claimed that there was a figure of an elephant. There are also figures in phi and in the form of a hand, among others. |
