Rock Paintings of Shulgan-Tash Cave
Located in the Southern Ural Mountains of Bashkortostan, the Shulgan-Tash Cave contains extensive Late Palaeolithic rock art. Set within a karst massif near the Belaya and Shulgan Rivers, it features large halls and deep chambers across two levels. The paintings depict steppe fauna—mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, bison, horses, and a Bactrian camel—alongside anthropomorphic figures, abstract signs, and geometric motifs like the “Kapova trapezoids.” Archaeological finds offer insights into the artistic process and domestic life of its prehistoric inhabitants.
舒利根塔什洞穴岩画
舒利根塔什（Shulgan-Tash）洞穴位于俄罗斯的巴什科尔托斯坦共和国，属南乌拉尔山脉，保存着大量旧石器时代晚期岩画。洞穴所处的喀斯特山地毗邻别拉亚河与舒尔干河，其双层结构包括多个宽阔的洞厅和深邃的岩室。岩画描绘了猛犸象、披毛犀、野牛、马、双峰驼等草原动物，还有人形图像、抽象符号及独特的“卡波瓦梯形”（Kapova trapezoids）等几何纹样。该考古发现使人们对洞穴史前居民的艺术创作与日常生活有更多了解。
