Carvings on blocks of basalt, Mudera. 



This hill was well wooded. Down on the shore, partly under water, were 

 numerous similar basalt blocks with many figures, faces, &c. ; among them two 

 crosses on No. 12, Fig. 132. I had to sketch sitting in a canoe, which rocked in 

 a lively manner on the chopping waves, but the representations are sufficiently 

 correct to give an idea of their character.
