Arrangement

Two bulls, indeterminate, pecking: Incised and pecked outlines of two bulls in a line, facing right in motion, each with a phallus. Left bull has forward curving horns and possible pecked saddle shape on back, right bull has upward and inward curving horns, possible pecked saddle shape, and line with small circualr end below neck. Both bulls have been modified at a later date; entire body area is pecked out, two eyes added, and head shape remodelled, with horns added or reworked. Horns of both later bulls appear to be decorated with line (or disc) between them. Areas of pecking above form indeterminate shapes, including possible animal facing right.
