Arrangement

Five bulls, ten cows: In middle of panel is incised outline of large bull facing left with slight cervico-thoracic hump, phallus, upward curving horns, smoothed and pecked hide, incised lines at front and hind haunches, band around neck, hooves depicted. Bull superimposes two possible bulls of similar size, one facing right with hind quarters and phallus visible below head of main bull, the other facing left with hind quarters visible beneath hind legs of main bull. Upward curving horns of both still visible above back of main bull. Around and partly superimposed by main bull are at least twelve smaller pecked quadrupeds (Wallpaper style), all appearing to face right, and probably cattle. Ten have forward curving horns, two have phalluses, and two have upward curving horns. Most have rounded heads. The left upper-most animal is poorly defined and larger, and may comprise more than one image. Figure 9.28a&b
