Digital photograph (colour); view of engraved rock art on cliff face, showing five pecked animal figures: the outlines of three bulls, a giraffe, an ostrich and an unidentified figure, all facing right. The giraffe and one bull stand directly above the other two bulls in square formation. The ostrich and unidentified figure are superimposed by the bulls, the ostrich by the tail of the bull on the lower right and the unidentified figure by the front legs of the bull on the lower left. The bulls have grid style coat pattern decoration markings on the body; the ostriches and giraffe are infilled, with a darker patina than the cattle. The bull on the lower left has long, upturned horns where the others are hornless. Karkur Talh, Sudan. Scanned
