Interpretation

Commentary
SESP.S 14 and 15 plus a rock drawing are on a narrow face adjacent to that bearing SESP.S 5–13. The inscription appears to be unfinished unless the end has been destroyed by the drawing.

Associated Drawings
A crudely scraped drawing of a human with raised arms and a stick figure possibly of a woman giving birth.
