Romuald's Cave is located on the eastern slopes of the Lim channel, at an altitude of 106 m [1]. Beginning with the end of 19th century, it was excavated multiple times by various archaeologists [1]. It gained notability in the 1980s with the work of Professor Mirko Malez, who was the first to note the existence of Upper Paleolithic stone tools [1]. Subsequent research revealed further stone tools and animal remains from Pleistocene and Holocene, as well as ceramics, fauna and human skeletal remains from both the Bronze and Iron Age [1]. A total of 44 paintings were found in Roumald's Cave [1]. The paintings, all of which were made with red pigment, stretch between 32–46 m from the entrance, and are divided into four panels: three on the left and one on the right wall [1]. 28 out of 44 paintings are located on the left panel L2, which also contains all four of the cave's figurative depictions [1]. Two of the four figurative depictions are of animals: a bison and an ibex [1].
