History
Brief description of art: A complex panel of pictographs. The central section is heavily overlaid. The base design appears to be a filled blob in the shape of an animal body but with no remaining external features. Above this is a much larger faint filled animal design of which only the front
section remains. The head and horns of this animal can be clearly discerned. Above this are two vertical lines applied by finger and two rows of dots. Above all of this is a fairly sharp small animal partially filled. The front section of the unfilled part of the body is decorated with multiple vertical lines. The species of the animal is uncertain. Its is realistically proportioned and its style of depiction is unique. Other motifs on the surface include: 2 more animal depictions, one in outline, one partially filled. Outline animal is in a stooping posture. Partially filled animal was executed in violet but part of design has been transformed into white by water staining. All the animal designs are in differing styles suggestive of different hands. There is also a unique outline bird design, its body is a single
line, it has 2 stick legs and a head. The exact species is uncertain but it clearly depicts one
of the tall grassland birds species. All these designs are brushed. A few finger applied motifs occur lower down comprised of the usual vertical parallel lines, rows of dots and vertical lines.
