It contains about twenty figures, both large and carved as well as small precise figures. In detail the protome of a precise caprid animal barely 10 cm in size. The cervical-dorsal line is represented with unique incisions. The elongated head with strong jaw shows detail of the nostril, one eye, as well as the ear and a small horn, both indicated by open convergent lines. On the neck some small oblique incisions are interpreted as the fur. Chronologically these figures with an abundance of detail and perspective conventions are in the most advanced stages.
