An enormous shelter in the Bala Range has multiple panels with Aboriginal rock art, including some large anthropomorphic figures.
The largest art panel on the back wall of the shelter has numerous figures in charcoal, superimposed with red ochre figures.
The largest anthropomorph, which is drawn in charcoal and red ochre, is larger-than-human in size and has two distinct eyes.
Another slightly smaller anthropomorph is on the right, also in charcoal and red ochre.
Between the two large figures is a smaller figure in charcoal, with the same pose as the largest figure.
Superimposed on the large anthropomorph is a kangaroo, outlined in red ochre.
On the far left of this main panel are two more human-like figures, both with upstretched arms.
On the right hand side of the panel are a number of animals, including a large emu (as well as a small man or anthropomorph).
Below the emu is an echidna, between two human figures in red ochre.
A rayed human or deity figure is superimposed over a red-ochre macropod.
On a separate panel are two birds drawn in charcoal, one of them resembling an emu.
Another panel has a very unusual and complex pattern.
At the far right of the back wall are two weathered figures in charcoal, one of the resembling a human – or another anthropomorph.
