Extended Data Fig. 4: Details of therianthrope 1.

a, b, Therianthrope 1 shown in a photograph enhanced using DStretch (a) and in a digital tracing (b). c, Photograph of therianthrope 1, enhanced using DStretch, positioned adjacent to the head area of pig 1. On the leftmost side of the panel, therianthrope 1 (26 × 12 cm) is facing towards pig 1 and is possibly crouched down in an active position. In its left hand it is holding a long spear or rope that appears to be pointed directly at the head area of this animal, and may once have connected with it; it is not possible to be certain because this part of the panel is missing owing to exfoliation. Therianthrope 1 is depicted with a short, curved mammal-like tail (d, highlighted with red arrow). Although the head area of therianthrope 1 is incomplete because of the deterioration of the cave wall, a muzzle or beak-like face is also evident.
