Bird emerging from egg imagery, where the human face depiction is on the breast of the bird

Side 2 presents a single hemispheric flake scar or natural depression, interpreted as a cupule. This may also be interpreted as the wide open mouth on a human face figure with some surface anomalies serving as eyes and where the whitish band is the approximate hair line of the face.

There is an image of a bison head perhaps "emerging" from the cupule mouth of the human.

The right eye of the human figure is also a bird figure

The bird may be seen as "perched" on the head of the bison

Bird perched on the head of a bison, perhaps looking for nesting material or lunch, is a common scene in nature.

Lascaux cave, France, scene depicting a bird-man, a bison and a bird, ca. 15,000 YBP.
