Arrangement

Abstract: On far left of the panel is pecked abstract image comprising triangular, arrow-head shape, with two longer straight sides and a curved short side. The left side follows a natural fissure in the rock. In the panel centre is pecked rectangular outline. To the right is pecked ovoid outline with two linear attachments, similar to the abstract linear forked motifs in the southern Messak (e.g. in the famous milking scene in Wadi Tiksatin).
