| Description/Remarks |
Image is divided into quadrants of layered rarrk patterning in woven bands. Four wide bands divide the bark and meet at a centrally placed striped circle. Two fish and two kneeling figures are placed opposite each other in each inner corner, facing the circle. Figures and fish are painted plain yellow ochre with thin bands of ornament.
