Grotte de Gabillou, Prehistoric art cave in Sourzac, France.
The cave extends twenty-seven meters in length with narrow passages leading to an area called the Room of the Red Horse.
Discovered in 1941 by M. Charmarty and M. Truffier, the cave received classification as a historical monument in July 1942.
The cave contains over 200 engravings depicting fifty-six horses, twenty-one reindeers, eighteen birds, twelve bisons, and various other animals from the Magdalenian period.
Access to the cave requires advance arrangements with property owners and is limited to two or three visits per year for qualified researchers.
One notable engraving shows a human figure wearing a parka, while another depicts a horned figure known as The Sorcerer measuring 25 centimeters.
