Arrangement

Cow, oryx, bovid, graffiti: Pecked outline of cow facing left with lyre-shaped horns, eye, ear, tail with brush, and hooves depicted, pecked markings on hide showing red due to naturl colour of rock. Some later repecking on legs. Appears to be superimposed over pecked outline of bovid, with remanants of legs and hooves showing beneath later cow. Above right is pecked indeterminate image, possibly an animal facing right. Below this is incised and eroded outline of antelope facing right with long backward curving horns, probably an oryx. Recent pecked graffiti.
