rock painting
Stone surface artwork
Rock painting refers to artwork created on natural rock surfaces, particularly the ancient images found on cave walls and cliff faces made by prehistoric peoples.
These paintings, often depicting animals, human figures, and abstract symbols, provide crucial evidence of early human culture and cognition.
Rock painting also describes the modern craft of decorating small stones with paint for decoration or as gifts: The kids made rock paintings to hide around the neighborhood.
