Scope

Bedrock outcropping along upper edge of lower cliff to east of LGR188, at end of small promontory on E side of mouth of watercourse. Numerous panels with carvings in this location. LGR189A carvings on upper surface which is bifurcated by crack.

Arrangement

Two antelopes, gazelle, abstract, grooves, pecking: To the right of a fissure in the panel are incised outlines of two quadrupeds facing right, slightly perpendicular to each other. Animal on left has forward curving horns, possibly an antelope (reedbuck?). Animal on right has long neck and short upward pointing horns, probably a gazelle (gerenuk/dibatag?). Curving line appears to connect horns to neck. Pecking around images. To the left of the crack is incised outline of an antelope facing right with short upward pointing horns and fringed tail. Groove running along body and incised lines extending from horns and muzzle. Abstract incised sandal-like shape to right of animal. Several grooves, pecked lines and pecking on surface, which has possibly been prepared. Figure 6.16b
