It's Brit Art, but not as we know it

Article Abstract:

A search of Church Hole, a cave located in Creswell Crags, near Worksop, UK, in 2003 revealed engraved images of horses, red deer, bison and possibly a wolf that are likely to be over 13,000 years old. Following this discovery scholars then identified bas-relief sculpture in the cave. The discovery is described as the finest collection of Ice Age bas-relief sculpture found on a cave ceiling.
