similar story, better graphic, from Current Archaeology:
a line drawing of the image shows interpretation of the natural and engraved parts. i) the line of the dome of the head and the back, ii) the face and trunk, iii) the eye and iv) the tusks. Sections indicated by the arrowed lines A and B most clearly show human workmanship. Drawing: Graham Mullan. Photo: Mullan, Andrew Atkinson, and Steve Cottle.

Interesting article-thanx for the post.”This is a clear representation of an animal.”Hmmm.....I don’t see it,but considering the caves were inhabited in ancient times,i assume that’s where you’d find that kind of stuff.

I’m far more impressed with the drawing’s perfectly straight spears (some with two tips) ;-)
