They are anthropomorphic figures of different colors with overlays that correspond to different eras.

Five overlays have been found and each of them is of a different color such as black, orange, red, white and yellow. The black ones are the oldest.

 

The best preserved paintings are blank and represent schematic anthropomorphic figures like bodies with big headdresses and weapons or canes.

There are also some large yellow paintings that represent Caravaca crosses, as well as other smaller crosses and graffiti of the same color that was trying to cover the previous glyphs.
