| Commentary | Very small and schematic dipinto of a human figure located in the lower left quadrant of the back wall of Bay 8. Conventionally referred to as a “stick figure.” Most of the black color defining the figure’s body has faded, and only a roughly oval head is still visible. The head is characterized by large oval eyes, a long straight nose, and a small and oval mouth tilted upward. No other details are recognizable. |
