Lubang Jeriji Saléh, Prehistoric cave art site in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
This limestone cave contains over 300 hand stencils and 20 animal figures painted on its walls within the Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat karst region.
The cave features rock paintings dating back 40,000 years, including a red-orange oxide bull figure measuring 1.5 meters in width.
The cave art presents three distinct phases of human expression, from animal depictions to hand stencils and later geometric patterns with boat representations.
The cave location requires navigation through dense forest and steep hill climbing, with professional guidance recommended for safe exploration.
Research at Lubang Jeriji Saleh revealed the earliest known figurative artwork worldwide, challenging previous theories about artistic development in human societies.
