Scope

Area of fragmented slabs and outcropping bedrock on slope of small promontory within small LGR embayment, directly opposite pass. Numerous carved surfaces, many have fragmented or exfoliated since carving and many slabs have moved, no longer in situ. Similar style (Tazina?) and patina for many carvings in this area. LGR104A carvings on sloping upper surface of two small, immediately adjacent slabs, originally part of same panel.

Arrangement

Human, giraffe, bovid, indeterminate, grooves, pecking: On one fragment of panel is incised quadruped facing left with long neck, possibly a giraffe. Head is pecked, possibly added later, and pecking around head and neck. Legs are possibly relict grooves from processing activity, now truncated by broken panel edge. Above is incised line with bulb at one end, other end truncated by broken panel edge, possibly originally part of image. To the left is incised outline of bovid facing left with very long upward pointing horns extending onto adjacent fragment of panel and ending in bulb. U-shaped belly, tail raised. On adjacent panel fragment is incised outline of indeterminate shape, possibly human facing forwards with one arm extended outwards. Shoulders, head and one arm indistinct of missing. Two gouge marks on upper body are possible breasts. Pecking around images.
