A rock shelter in the face of a cliff, probably enlarged artificially, but the surfaces are not even and there are no carved architectural elements nor any decorative carving. The shelter is shaped like a rough quarter sphere. The inscription is about 150 cm above the floor on the right-hand side of the back wall. The inscribed area is not marked off from the wall surface in any way.
