The mountains divide the scale of the images; the images above the mountains are distant and aerial, and everything below the mountains is at close range and is underwater. Just below the surface of the water is a harpoon tip on a rope; the rope has a single loop with a small human skull lightly drawn within the loop. To the right of the harpoon tip is a human-like being positioned headlong in the water; the human-like being is decorated with hair, dots descending down the neck, a small human skull on the forearm, and a rib-like pattern drawn on the torso. Kelp, intermixed with fifteen human skulls of varying sizes, extends from the head of the human-like being to the seabed at the bottom of the page.
