Anthropomorphic representations are rare in European paleolithic parietal art. When men are figured, they are so crude and not as detailed as for animals. Here, the man seems charged by a steppe bison. Note sopno face resembling a bird. Below the man seems to exist a bird at the top of a segment, maybe a stick.
