Agrour Amogjar

The Agrour Amogjar is a 690 m high peak near the Amogjar Pass, in the Adrar plateau of central Mauritania [1]. Its small natural shelters house a rich collection of rock paintings in a damaged state [1]. The set of rock paintings is heterogeneous [1]. Eight stylistic groups have been recorded, ranging from the "pastoral" period to the most recent graffiti [1]. The panels are featuring geometric circles with sunburst design, handprints, naturalistic wildlife such as giraffe, lion and crocodile, as well as herds of cattle and human collective scenes [1]. The most important set is a frieze of dancers [1].
