Fig. 2. Figurative paintings of pigs at Leang Tedongnge.

Fig. 2

(A and B) Leang Tedongnge cave. The cave is located at the foot of a limestone karst hill (A); the cave mouth entrance is shown in (B). (C) Plan and section of Leang Tedongnge site. Rock art panel 10 (P10) is located on a ledge toward the rear of the cave and features at least three large figurative paintings of pigs. (D and E) Details of rock art panel 10 showing pigs 1 to 3. Dimensions: pig 1 (136 cm by 54 cm), pig 2 (125 cm by 53 cm), and pig 3 (138 cm by 71 cm). A fourth animal figure (probably a depiction of a pig and hence provisionally denoted pig 4) was present but is too heavily exfoliated for analysis. (D) Stitched panorama view of panel 10 after enhancing with the Decorrelation Stretch (DStretch) computer program (44) (channel setting: _lds; LDS colorspace). (E) Tracings of pigs 1 to 3. Pig 3 was painted using two different colors; possibly, but not certainly, with a time lapse between these painting episodes. Photo credits: A. A. Oktaviana, ARKENAS/Griffith University.
