In the top center of this block a faint graffito shows a human figure standing in a worshiping pose with arms outstretched. To the left, an even fainter, blocky figure can be seen. Facing left on the block, this figure holds one arm outward, bent at the elbow. A sash or other design crosses the body diagonally from proper left hip to proper right shoulder. A collection of linear designs to the right of the worshiping figures may also represent humans, since there are similarities with rock art from farther north in Nubia.
