Between these images are two pecked quadrupeds facing left with upward and slightly backward curving horns, possibly goats; and three pecked birds facing left with long necks and legs, possibly ostriches. The larger of these has a possible rider and a line attaching it the head of a smaller ostrich with open beak. To the right of the larger ostrich with rider is a human figure facing left, with possible bow and arrow. To the left of the group is a pecked image (animal?).
