Shaman of the Cueva de la Serreta (Cieza, Spain)

Description

The Cueva de la Serreta is located in the municipality of Cieza, in the region of Murcia (Spain). It is a cave located in one of the walls of the spectacular Almadenes Canyon, at the bottom of which the Segura River runs. Inside there are some paintings of Post-Palaeolithic Rock Art. This panel shows a kind of figure with a human shape but which has been interpreted as some kind of divinity or shaman. These paintings were declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1998. We want to thank Joaquín Salmerón, Director of the Cieza City Council's Historical Heritage Service, for the facilities he has given us and for his cooperation. 3D model wa made in Reality Capture using 14 images.
