Commentary
Carved between the legs of a drawing of of a bull (with markings shown). Below the text are two men on foot fighting, one with a bow and the other with sword and shield. They are in a different technique from the bull, much cruder. Above the bull are other, slightly elongated men in the same technique as the bull.
