Interpretation

Associated Drawings
Drawing of camel with a rider. The camel is probably male as the tail is straight down. The rider is sat on the hump with arms in the air. In the rider's left hand is a hexagonal shape, perhaps a shield. There are thin scratches in front on the rider on the camel's hump that might represent the saddle. The reins are visibly attached to the camels head.
