Engravings   Paintings   Painted engravings   High or low-relief   Sculpture
Este painel apresenta ao centro dois cruciformes, estando o do lado direito assente sobre uma linha curva, em forma de ferradura, e outro do lado esquerdo. Foram gravados com picotados de negativos largos e muito profundos, que fizeram estalar grandes lascas de rocha, típicos da acção do artefacto metálico. Uma linha de picotados com negativos largos e profundos, semelhantes aos das figuras anteriores, descreve um arco subcircular e envolve as figuras precedentes, terminando ambas as extremidades numa fissura horizontal.

Figures:
Representações cruciformes.

Notes:

Abstract: Rego da Vide it's an open-air Rock Art site of Vale do Côa Archaeological Park (Vila Nova de Foz Côa). It's located on the left side of Côa River, and integrates nine schist rocks, with engravings, mostly modern, and some palaeolithics. The most important is rock 1, which presents palaeolithics engravings of a goat, auroche, and an indeterminated animal. The modern's one, show representation of trains, boats, animals, religious mothifs, inscriptions and dating. All the engravings were made by pecking, scratching and abrading techniques. De uma forma geral, as gravuras só são acessíveis após o esvaziamento quase completo das águas represadas pela ensecadeira da barragem de Foz Côa.
