Cave paintings are a type art found on the wall or ceilings of caves. The oldest known cave painting is a red hand stencil in Maltravieso cave, Cáceres, Spain. It has been dated using the uranium-thorium method to older than 64 kya and was made by a Neanderthal.1
The oldest date given to an animal cave painting is now a depiction of several human figures hunting pigs in the caves in the Maros-Pangkep karst of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, dated to be over 43.7 kya.2 Before this, the oldest known figurative cave paintings were that of a bull dated to 40 kya, at Lubang Jeriji Saléh cave, East Kalimantan, Borneo,3 and a depiction of a pig with a minimum age of 35.4 kya at Timpuseng cave in Sulawesi.4
