{"ES":"En el friso se hallan varias escenas de caza, un cérvido aislado, así como numerosos restos de pintura. La pared central está ocupada por una escena de cacería formada por cuatro arqueros que acechan a dos cabras, mientras que otros cazadores les esperan en el lado opuesto. En la zona izquierda del abrigo, una figura humana flechada se dirige en carrera hacia la derecha, con dos flechas emplumadas clavadas en las piernas y otra en la cabeza. En general, el abrigo presenta problemas graves de conservación.","EN":"There are several Levantine hunting scenes, an isolated stag, and a lot of painting remains. The main part of the shelter preserves a hunting scene in which four archers stalk a herd of two male wild goats. Meanwhile, a group of other hunters wait for their reaction in the opposite side of the scene. In the left area of the shelter there are a human figure wounded with arrows in his legs and head, while it is still running towards the right. This shelter is seriously weathered, so figures can be hardly seen. ","CA":"En el fris es troben diverses escenes de caça, un cérvol aïllat, així com nombroses restes de pintura.

The left half of Cova Alta del Lledoner preserves some disperse pictographs of Levantine style.

Description:
The right half of this shelter preserves an interesting hunting scene typical of Levantine art. Here, a numerous group of small size archers, at least seven, are surrounding and firing their bows towards two goats located in the central part of the group. Many of these pictographs were vandalised, so their identification is really hard.
