175 - Oued Mathendous. In Habeter II. - Enigmatic figure with no rational explanation. Total height: 0.51 m.

279 - Col d'Amoggiar (Mauritania). - Ochre painting of a "solar" symbol with four small inner circles. The fifteen rays are not joined with the circle. Two hands, one in negative (in red ochre), are visible on the left. Diameter of the solar symbol: 0.18 m.

328 - Aouanrhet (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - Mysterious fresco organized around two black circles, from which four rays extend to the left, ending in circles covered with a lattice pattern. These circles are all open outward. Between two open circles, at the bottom right, an independent round structure contains two seated people and a child. On the left, but in the open air, a man stands. On the opposite side, at the opposite edge, there is also a black circle from which two rays extend, also ending in round, lattice-like, and open structures. A third ray seems to lead nowhere. Finally, outside of what might be a hut, there is a seated figure. On the left figure, there is also a circle containing another with small rays. The entire painting is done in red ochre, and the represented panel measures 1.36 m.

329 - Aouanrhet (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - Detail of the previous structure. Diameter of the "hut": 0.20 m.

449 - Ouan Bender (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - A symbolic figure painted with bold strokes. Perhaps an elephant whose legs are overloading a fore bovid. In this curious figure, two back ends of undetermined animals are also visible, touching at the median section of the belly. Height of the figure: 0.48 m.

450 - Ouan Bender (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - The animal (?) from the previous photo, as seen by Y. Tschudi. (Tschudi Y. - North African Rock Paintings. Sansoni Ed., Florence, 1955).

474 - Ozeneare (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - In the center of the ceiling of a shelter, a circle painted in red ochre. The diameter is 0.08 m. From this circle, which contains a smaller one, small appendages with double lines extend. They are small in size, except for one that is extended and fades into the wall. There is no explanation for this.

548 - Tin-Aboteka (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - Three rectangular structures, two of which show stakes (?) at each corner and contain indeterminate objects in the shape of spools. Three in the right structure, one in the two others. In all three structures, the lines forming the rectangles are doubled on the outside. Width of the right rectangle: 0.50 m.
