FACSIMILE OF CAVE PAINTING | circa 1971 | Photo by Ann Cady, 2024 | ©2026 Norman Daly Art: The painting is divided into uneven sections of golden and earth brown hues, with contrasting crisscross of shapes, fine cracks and subtle discoloration--all suggesting an ancient source. A distinct yet faded green  'orant' figure with a curved top piece, sits to the left.
