Avebury, Wiltshire
If I thought the other two fonts today were complicated, they had nothing on the one at Avebury. This one has some order in its geometric arches at the bottom. But the rest is crowded organic foliage, animals and a human figure. There was too much to draw in situ so I took some photos, which I'll have to work further from at a later date.

Love the animal figures! And a detailed human figure (is it in a grass skirt??) We have not seen anything quite like that before.
