70 A new type of depicting human beings. Their body consists of two vertical lines which may indicate unnormal body height. Their heads are not shown in the normal round shape but as if wearing helmets. They are dressed in frock-like clothing with fringes and carrying long swords with sheath. Besides, warriors with shield and dagger or sword and among them a capricorn. Warriors with sword and buckler or bow.
71 Here, more animals can be seen than in the rest of the panel: capricorns, ostriches, dogs and some of the very rare Oryx antelopes (Oryx leucoryx) with their typical straight horns. This kind of antelope is not to be found in any other rock writing in the Near East although it occurs still in South Arabia. A warrior in the middle keeping watch, as it seems, over a herd of cattle, and a war chariot span on the right.
