Panel 21 is engraved in a pot formed by river erosion and dismantled over time.
Top left, a horse, a body of about 40 cm wide with the head provided with double upright mane line, strong jaw, eye and mouth. The inner parts are interpreted as representing the fur. Partially overlapping, the cervical-dorsal line of the great aurochs, measuring over 1 m. Also with muzzle, eye, neckline, chest and large horns that rest on the relief of the rock.
All these details manage to place the group in the initial Magdalenian.
