Close-up view of the therianthrope engraved behind the horse

Relevés de la créature derrière le cheval sur le recto du galet
5859

Standing and straight-backed like a human, the creature has a rounded occiput, a prognathic muzzle with whiskers like a carnivore and a long bifid beard. Its neck leads down to a folded arm, with a clearly-marked elbow and a hand with five fingers or claws, brandishing a line intersected by what looks like a spindle, in front of the muzzle. Above the head there are many unclear lines about which we have been unable to draw any conclusions. Some suggest some sort of headwear.

The rest of the body is that of a female, with a hanging breast and swollen belly. The lower limb is barely illustrated.
