Thursday Postcard Hunt | Cave Paintings

This orange hind belongs to the Cave of Altamira, a cave complex in the Nort of Spain, renowned for prehistoric cave art featuring charcoal drawings and polychrome paintings of fauna and human hands. The earliest paintings were applied around 36,000 years ago. 

In 1985 it was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The cave can no longer be visited, for conservation reasons, but there are replicas of a section at the site and elsewhere.
