|---|---|
| Large rock engraving shows a giraffe with a line that is coming out from the throat and is likely to indicate "blood" or "wounded". On the left, a human figure with bow and arrows has six lines on his head (probably status symbol). The arrows have a trapezoid oint and a weight in the middle to help the flight. It is likely to be significant the similarity of the arrows and the head's rays. Alternative image see W00122A.bmp. |
