The cave contains 58 detailed engravings depicting various animals including bison, horses, and ibex, alongside geometric patterns and human figures.
The archaeological site, discovered in 1951, features Magdalenian period art and gained UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979 as part of Vézère Valley sites.
The central figure known as the Sorcerer represents early human artistic expression and potential ritualistic practices from the Upper Paleolithic period.
