The station is composed by only one block of 200 x 70 cm, in the riverbed of the main wadi. The block was for most part covered by sand and it had to be cleaned. The decoration of this panel is one the most important scene we found during this fieldwork : it is a question of an complexe hunting scene with 8 humans beings and 37 animals (dogs, bovines, elephant). In the sand covering the panel, we find some little lithic tools they may have been used to engrave the panel. This representation can be dated from Naqada IIC-D.
