cave murals
Ancient underground art
Cave murals are paintings or drawings made on the walls and ceilings of caves, typically by prehistoric peoples.
The term usually refers to ancient art depicting animals, human figures, and abstract symbols, such as those found at Lascaux in France or Altamira in Spain.
These images provide glimpses into early human culture, hunting practices, and possibly religious beliefs.
