Pedra das Cabras (Stone of the Goats) is a Bronze Age petroglyph located near Figueirido in the municipality of Ribeira, in the Barbanza region of Galicia, Spain. Over 4,000 years old, the engravings on a large granite rock depict two animals resembling deer, each carved with six legs rather than four -- an artistic choice believed to represent the figures in motion. The site is one of Galicia's notable examples of open-air prehistoric rock art from the Metal Age.
