The top of the lām auctoris is separated from the line above it by a small space.

Associated Drawings
A drawing of a man with wild hair on a camel with a rein to its nose in his left hand and a camel stick crossing its neck in his right. Behind him are what could be a sword (a straight line reaching down to near the lām auctoris) and a T-shaped sword or stick. Behind this camel there is what appears to be a smaller one. Above him and at right angles to him is a man on foot but the details are very difficult to disentangle.
