Tito Bustillo Cave Art

The Gallery of Anthropomorphic Figures

antropomorfos

A set discovered by Rodrigo de Balbín in 2000. A gap in the Long Gallery wall gives access to a small room with a curious hanging formation in semitransparent calcareous stone, commonly known as the flag. Two anthropomorphic figures are painted in red on either side of the flag.

The schematic nature of these representations allows only the discernment of the figures’ outline. Their style and radiocarbon analysis date them to the earliest phases of cave art. The uniquely remote and highly scenography location underscores the distinct symbolism of the ensemble.
