Interpretation

Commentary
The text is carved vertically between MKTF 19 and a drawing of an ostrich. The first three letters have been joined together as perhaps have the first two letters of the last name.

Provenance
At the top of one face of a large outcrop

Associated Drawings
Many drawings of animals all over the face.
