Engraved Mammoths

10766

These engravings, stilted and simplistic in style, are seen in a superior form in the End Chamber. The way they overlap is reminiscent of other compositions, such as the mammoths on the Panel of the Engraved Horse. The treatment of the "mandible" tucks is unique in the cavity.
