Scientists have uncovered a 15,000-year-old Ice Age engraving in a cave within the Moravian Karst, representing the first confirmed example of prehistoric cave art discovered in Czechia.

The engraving, which depicts the head and neck of a horse, was carved into a limestone block in the Švédův stůl cave. It was identified by an international research team led by scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Dated to the late Magdalenian period, the discovery indicates that figurative cave art was not confined to western Europe.
