The most common animals that occurred throughout the cave are lions, mammoths, and rhinoceroses. These cave paintings are some of the oldest know to man (Clottes) (Sayre).

The clasped hands symbolize prayer when the hands are empty and giving an offering when a cup is being held. The tallest figure symbolizes the god of
