Reverse description
High relief and colored depiction of `The Zoo`, one of the rocks of the Abourma Rock Art Site. This superb archaeological site features well-preserved rock engravings dating back to Neolithic times, which are striking both for their rich complexity and their incredible variety. Many of the engravings depict animals that are no longer found in the area – giraffes, cows, antelopes, kudus, oryxes and ostriches. Human figures are also represented.
