AAWHA 9

Interpretation

Commentary: There is a vertical line and a shorter one with a slight curve at the top beside the loop of the y which do not appear to be part of either the inscription or the drawing.

Associated Inscriptions: The earlier drawing was that of a horseman facing left spearing a carnivore with a long lance. Over the carnivore is a later drawing of a rider on a male camel with hardly any hump facing right, holding a rein to its nose in his left hand and a camel stick which runs across its neck in his right. There is a girth in front of the rider and possibly another with two tassels behind him and what could either be a quiver or two short spears or swords.
