610 - Alan-Edoument (Tassili-n'Ajjer). – A "flying gallop" chariot, clumsily crafted. It raises similar reflections to the one presented by the chariot of In Itinen (photo 605), though it has only one axle. Note the absence of a platform.

611 - Alan-Edoument (Tassili-n'Ajjer). – Engraving of a large Bubalus (Pelorovis antiquus Duv.). This species is now completely extinct.

612 - Alan-Edoument (Tassili-n'Ajjer). – Engraved hippopotamus. The horn on top of the neck is a later addition. Below, there are signs of polishing.

613 - Alan-Edoument (Tassili-n'Ajjer). – Horse painted in red ochre. The mane is indicated, and the execution is awkward. From the tail to the right front leg, the animal measures 0.25 m.

614 - Alan-Edoument (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - Beautiful bovine fresco mixing herders and cattle. The large figure in the center wears a yellow loincloth. It appears to be holding its head and extending something with the left hand. The cow on the right is black, while the other animals and herders are polychrome. The panel measures 0.70 m in width.
