Interpretation
- Commentary
- Incised vertically immediately to the right of the woman's body. There is a line going through the second l but it is shallower than the other lines of the text and is probably incidental. The rock is damaged after the m but there is a short line visible and it seems likely that a t should be restored at the end. All four inscriptions on the rock claim the drawing.
