Notes:
Abstract: Mestras it's a Rock art site located in Góis. Here, there is a set of three locations with representation of "horseshoes", cruciforms, quadrangular or rectangular figures, with rounded corners (in some cases almost with an ovoid shape), segmented inside by perpendicular lines. It is possible to establish a parallel between these quadrangular figures of Mestras, segmented inside, and so many other reticulated figures of Iberian schematic art.
