Fig. 123.—Petroglyphs in Inhamun, Brazil.
The under part of this rock forms a shelter, and on the roof of this shelter are all the remaining characters of the figure.
To the right or south of the shelter containing the inscription is a stone, with the form of the figure represented in the third place in the lower row of characters, counting from left to right, on a small heap, with the rear end raised up and the sharp point toward the east, its side inclining toward the west, in such a way that it can be climbed to the end which is erect.
On the same side, at the south, but beyond this, on the top of a rise, is a mound in sight, which is represented by the figure [delineated in the lower part of Fig. 123 at the extreme right,] resembling an inclosure (corral) with the 21 small lines before it.
Fig. 124 is a copy of an inscription at Pedra Lavrada, Province of Parahiba, published loc. cit., but the description by Senhor de Alencar Araripe is very meager, amounting in substance to the following:
This is an inscription of vast proportions on a large rock in the town of Pedra Lavrada, which takes its name from that of the rock.
