Images that are clearly discernable in this rubbing are "large mtn sheep, rectangular bodied, horns frontal. Cross with solid orbs at terminations. Two 'Boundary Markers' (Rakes vertically oriented). Concentric circles." Some what less clear, near top: "Rows of triangular pendants and a diamond shaped abstraction w/rays." However, the "Large elk with rectangular body and triangles incised" is difficult to locate, Maybe on part 1. * the number PE33A was assigned in the lab upon entering this record in order to differentiate between part one and part 2 of the same rubbing. -BF 8/2/06
