[Figure 4 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The figure, a horse in profile, facing right (FIGURE 5), resemblesothers of its kind such as the Mazouco horse in northeast Portugal (thefirst open-air Palaeolithic figure to be recognized about 20 years ago)and the isolated horse of Piedras Blancas in southern Spain, as well asthe numerous pecked horse figures of Siega Verde and Foz Coa, both inthe region of the River Douro. [Figure 5 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] First stylistic assessments of the new figure assign it to the same(Gravettian or early Solutrean?) phase as the early images of Foz Coaand the Portuguese decorated cave of Escoural.
