Mamen’s description: “Interior of ‘Ago’ cave.”

It seems to be a disserted Buddhist hermit cave. There are a lot of bird dungs around and feathers on the right. The two images are not known, and one of them seems headless. There is a carved Buddhist image on stone board put up at the entrance outside the cave and it was in Bilute which is Buddhist Ölet country. [U. Borjigin 7/1/2002]
