Composition in blue and white. Sketch lines, discontinuous contour lines appearing to have been trampled on rough surface. Zebu representation and dog, both facing to the left, taking up almost the entire stand area. In the lower half, Zebu with the head directed forward, horns represented by a "U" fallen long ears, eyes round nose and sharply defined. Hump, dewlap and tail and suggested representation tits crossed between the legs. In the top half, profile dog's head to the left and part of the body suggested by some traits. Numbers and other animal outline is perceived by the transparency of support, and suggesting interfering with rock paint composition.
