Wadi Tin Lebbo (In Allabu), near Wadi Tashwinat, is the home of some wonderful cave paintings. Very expressive forms, beautiful colours including red, white and black, elegant human figures, and dotted giraffes. Very modern in style and advanced compositions.

This painting appears to include two (or more) styles, showing different degrees of skills. It could well mean that the painting was the work of different generations, in that each generation contributed to the composition without affecting the overall look of the painting. Or by different artists from the same generation or period.
