The trevally fish (Caranx ignobilis) motif is depicted with a stencil in a vertical position pointing to the left. There is some peeling of the skin of the cliff walls on the body. This motif is depicted perhaps to show that this fish was consumed by the people who supported the rock image culture at that time.
