Heningburg,WR #2

The cave I found the most interesting was the Shaft which showed the Panel of the Wounded Man drawing. This art work caught my eye because it looked as if the man had been pushed down violently by the bison. It showed a lot of action. This work includes a rhinoceros, a bird, a bison and a man. The rhinoceros is alone and to the side. I found that it was created by spraying pigments rather than a brush, which is how some of the other works were created. The bird and the man have similar features, such as their heads. The bird may have been a symbol of the conductor of the soul. Next we have the man who falls backwards on top of the bird. The man is a stick figure who has a bird shaped head. I was surprised to find out this was the only representation of a human in the entire cave. I found that to be very cool. Lastly, there was a bison depicted  the cave. The bison is a very large animal that seems very aggressive. The bison is in position to charge while weapons are being thrown its way.
