The most abundant figure we can find on this rock is the circle. Those circles are from 3,5 to 20 cm diameter, and from 0.5 to 2.5 cm thick. They can appear either isolated, joined, or placed in the inner part of a larger circle. In some cases, the figures are made with a discontinous pecking. On this rock we can see other types of pecked figures. On one hand, appear here some wavy figures from 16 cm to 25 cm long, and from 0.3 cm to 2 cm thick. Nevertheless, the most interesting figures are the schematic zoomorphs. The first one is a pecked buck 38 cm long and 21 cm wide. In this figure we can distinguish anatomic details: the trunk, an oval 22 cm long and 13 cm wide, the legs, that arise from its lower part (in running position), the tail (a small appendix 3.5 cm long), and the antlers, that arise directly from the trunk (this figure lacks neck and head)). Those antlers are represented with two curved lines with 6 and 5 points respectively. From the lower part of the trunk arise a appendix 7.5 cm long that stretches to the inner of the oval. This kind of appendix appear in other rocks of this geographic area (chele114, eg). This type of pecked buck appear on other rocks too (chele112, eg). The second zoomorph we find here is very similar to the last one, however in this case, the antlers arise from the neck, consists of a narrow oval 7 cm long. This figure is very damaged by a big chip, and is 50 cm long, 14 cm wide and 0.7 cm thick. In the inner of the trunk we find a oval 10.5 cm long (chele107, eg). The last zoomorph we can see on this rock is 17.2 cm long and 5.5 cm wide. In this figure appear the trunk (consists of a small oval 8 cm long), three extremities, tail, neck, head and two horns (2 appendixes 3 cm and 2.5 cm long respectively). The rest of figures are some indeterminate motives difficult to identify. Finally, we find on this rock some thread-like lines from 0.4 cm to 5.7 cm long. Sometimes these lines appear forming groups, but they can also appear isolated. Some fine lines are superimposed on the peckeds and viceversa.
