Description
A series of block lines are visible here, one running vertically between two blocks beneath the scene, another running vertically up through the scene and through the hip of the striding male figure. A horizontal block line can also be seen in the corner, running roughly across this man's ankle. This shows that the blocks being used here were cut irregularly to fit each other in this corner, perhaps because the corner of a larger blocks was broken at some point.
