Description:

 Engravings   Paintings   Painted engravings   High or low-relief   Sculpture
La grotte est un conduit exigu, long d'une quarantaine de mètres. Les cinq figures connues se trouvent dans une petite salle à 24 m de l'entrée. On distingue 3 bisons noirs, longs de 1 m à 1,5 m, une figure délavée (autre probable bison) et une figure indéterminée. Les animaux sont clairement disposés par rapport à des fissures naturelles des parois. Le style est réaliste, les proportions correctes.

Figures:
total number 4
4 bisons, 1 figure indéterminée

Chronology:

 Palaeolithic   Epipalaeolithic - Mesolithic   Neolithic   Copper Age   Bronze Age   Iron Age   Roman   Middle Age   Modern   Unknown
Le style des bisons, caractéristique du style IV de Leroi-Gourhan, est attribuable au Magdalénien.
