The oldest painting in the cave represents an anthropomorphic figure
Part male, part female.

Some of the paintings represent animals: horses, deer, moose and even a marine animal (probably a whale)
It is believed they had a ritual purpose to improve their hunting. Invoking fertility. A painting representing female genitalia is also found inside the cave.

Apart from the paintings, some objects from the Magdalenian period were perfectly preserved. Including bone harpoons; and, a carved staghorn of a goathead.

Some people believe the paintings could have been made by neanderthals (1)
