Photomontage of Ekain's engraved plaque (Deba, Gipuzkoa)

Photomontage of Ekain's engraved plaque (Deba, Gipuzkoa). The superimposed fore parts of a mountain goat, a deer and a horse have been carved onto a slab of sandstone. The goat is particularly well crafted, and the head is carved in great detail. It dates from the Upper Magdalenian (13 000 - 11 000 BP).
