Description

It is possible that this illustration was reproduced on a large scale as part of a suite of interpretation at the site. This has been theorised due to the large scale of the original artwork and the level of detail in the depiction; this implies that the illustration was intended to be reproduced 'scaled up', rather than reduced in size.
