The Mesolithic paintings are red. They depict hunting-scenes and are marked by vigour. The human figures are elongated and are shown holding bows, arrows and barbed harpoons, surrounding their quarry, deer in this case. In a corner, a group of men are shown fleeing from an attacking rhinoceros, while one of them is climbing a tree. Men are naked or wear a skirt of leaves or bark (Fig. 45). Resemblance with the Spanish cave paintings from Cueva de Val del Charco del Agua Amarga is obvious.
