Alcove of the Lions

L’alcôve des Lions
10840

This natural recess in the wall, between the Panel of the Horses on the left and the Reindeer Panel on the right, has 17 animal figures. On the left are three Lions, five horses, an aurochs, and a megaloceros. On the right are a feline and a falling horse, above a bison and an aurochs. Red dots and dashes and a yellow spot of goethite mark the animals.
