Digital photograph (colour); view of engraved rock art on two rock faces, showing a frieze of six outlined, pecked cows depicted upright facing left, with curved upturned horns and patched, dotted and geometric coat pattern markings. The cows have small round shapes hanging from necks (cowbells?). To the left there are three human figures infilled with pecking, most of them depicted upright facing front, some holding spears and round shields. Interspersed throughout the panel and sometimes superimposed to or by the bigger figures there are many smaller outlined or infilled pecked giraffes, cows, ostriches and unidentified quadrupeds upright facing left or right, some with grid-style or patched coat pattern markings. Tigui Tongour, Chad. Scanned
