Fig. 4

(A and B) Leang Balangajia 1 cave. The cave is located in the upper karst network of a limestone hill (A); the cave entrance [concealed by dense vegetation in (A)] is shown in the photostitched panorama in (B). (C) Plan and section of Leang Balangajia 1 (the red star shows the location of the dated pig figure). (D and E) Dated artwork, a large red outline profile painting of a pig. (D) Photograph enhanced using the Decorrelation Stretch (DStretch) computer program (44) (channel setting: _ac_cb_lds; AC; CB, auto image color balance; and LDS color space). (E) Tracing (gray shading indicates exfoliated areas of the panel). The pig figure is 187 cm in length and 110 cm in height. FW, preorbital facial warts, a diagnostic characteristic of S. celebensis; HC, head crest. Four hand stencils (darker in color) are superimposed on the pig. The pig figure displays an unidentified morphological feature, a pair of hairy teat-like protuberances in the lower neck area [highlighted by arrows in (D) and (C)]. Photo credits: A. A.
