Description

On the ceiling of a small cavity, a 1.05m long fish is sculpted, a salmon (precisely engraved at the kelt stage – in the period following spawning), a species which was abundant in the Vézère until recently. This bas-relief figure, the oldest and largest known at the present time, dates back to the Gravettian era (around 23,000 years ago) and can be compared to the Laussel carvings.
