Cueva de La Soledad
Estructura
It is located on the northern slope of the ravine of the same name. The left panel of the cave presents human and animal figures, highlighting those of deer and birds in red and black, some pierced by arrows or spears. The design of the wings is notable, which are rounded and recall certain headdresses seen in some human figures. These birds differ from the typical representations of vultures, as they are characterized by their semirectangular outline and emphasize the representation of the rows of feathers.
There are some cases where abstract figures are exhibited, as in the extreme right of this cave, where geometric lines, straight lines and curves form symbols with an as yet unknown meaning.
Central Panel: Central Panel of La Soledad Cave, composed of human figures, male and female deer, and birds.
Northeast end: This group is composed of a bighorn sheep, a deer and a male human figure superimposed on both animals.
Grid: Northeast end of the Cueva de La Soledad. The Gran Mural tradition is essentially naturalistic; however, some panels have associated abstract designs. They are usually grids or chessboards. They could be representing entoptic forms, that is, visions experienced during altered states of consciousness similar to trance.
Bird: Detail of the bird located in the central sector of the main panel of the Cueva de La Soledad. It could be the representation of a crow; this site was once known as Pájaro Negro (Black Bird) due to the presence of this figure.
