Scope

Upper cliff of westernmost of two small, high inselbergs. Carvings on vertical surface 6m above ledge. Now very difficult to access due to collapse of slabs that originally formed platforms beneath.

Arrangement

Human, four bulls: Pecked outlines of four bulls with forward curving horns and phalluses, and a human, all in linear arrangement along the panel. The three left-hand bulls face right towards the human. Fourth bull faces left towards human and appears to emerge from crack in rock. All bulls have pecked lines and pecked out areas on hides, forming varied and complex markings. The human faces forward with arms raised, each hand holding a linear object with circular attachment. Left-hand object connects to horn of adjacent bull. Figure 7.27a&b
