Scope

Broken outcropping rock on summit of inselberg adjacent to MAK005A. Carvings on sloping upper surface

Arrangement

Seven antelopes (including two oryx, three reedbuck), indeterminate, grooves, pecking, incised lines: On lower fragment of panel, on possible smoothed surface, is group of four overlapping antelopes with incised outlines, facing right. Right-most antelope (Reedbuck?) has slight cervico-thoracic hump, thin neck with very fine lines (mane?) extending from it, backward and upward curving horns, elongated legs, lines across hind legs possibly related to underlying image. Antelope dorsal line and tail overlaps with and superimposes faint antelope with backward then upward curving horns (Reedbuck?), and possible oryx with long backward pointing horns. To the left is incised outline of antelope with thin neck, backward then upward curving horns (Reedbuck?). Pecking, faint incised lines, and polished and U-shaped grooves over these images. On upper panel fragment on left is incised outline of possible antelope facing right, head partly eroded, possible short upward pointing horns. Incised lines, pecking, and truncated U-shaped grooves. Above is incised outline of antelope facing right up the panel with upward then forward curving horns, body and legs indistinct. To the right is incised outline of antelope in motion facing right with rounded body, pecking on body, thin neck, long backward pointing horn (oryx?), hind exfoliated. Wide V-shaped grooves to left, and below belly and muzzle. To the right is incised indeterminate image, possibly a quadruped. Some pecking and incised lines on panel. Figure 6.5
