"THESE HANDS", newest Christine TARANTINO project

This undated photo shows a detail of the 'Panel of Hands' in El Castillo Cave, Spain, showing red disks and hand stencils made by blowing or spitting paint onto the wall. A date from a disk shows the painting to be older than 40,800 years, making it the oldest known cave art in Europe. -source: The  [online] Christian Science Monitor.
