On left are pecked outlines of two cows with short upward curving horns facing each other. Left cow has body area abraded, two pecked eyes. Right cow has body area pecked out, pronounced cervico-thoracic hump, two grooves running across body, and pecked circular cupmark above tail. Extending downwards beneath the heads of the two cows are three pecked lines ending in circles. To the right are pecked outlines of a second pair of cows facing each other, with long upward and forward curving horns. The left-hand cow has pecked eyes, pecking on body and a pecked, circular cupmark at the end of its tai. The right-hand cow has possible pecked bands on shoulder, hind legs indistinct. Two cupmarks between the paired cows. Centrally below these two pairs is a pecked and partially smoothed outline of a quadruped, facing left with a small head from which two curving horns or tusks extend forward, possibly an ambiguous animal, or an ovicaprid. Legs are lightly pecked and end in circles, pecked loping line within body connects to front legs. Two pecked eyes, and two sub-circular lobes extend above and below head. Upper lobe is internally cross-hatched. Pecking around image. Narrative or mythical scene?
