Scope

Upper cliff of westernmost of two small, high inselbergs on same exposure as LGR190 and 191. Carvings on vertical surface 6m above ledge. Now very difficult to access due to collapse of slabs that originally formed platforms beneath.

Arrangement

Cow, giraffe, antelope, quadruped, grooves: Incised outlines of two quadrupeds facing right, one with indistinct head, the second with forward curving horns, fringed tail and phallus, possibly a bull, with incised lines on back, some forming grid pattern. Below is incised outline of an antelope facing left with forward then upward pointing horns (Hartebeest?), pecking on hide. Several wide grooves. To the right is incised outline of a giraffe with long neck and extremely long legs, crossed as if in motion. Two headswith short horns depicted, as if moving.
