Sloping surface of outcrop. Two archers with recurved bows. One archer wears a three-horned headdress. Above are two fine, darkly patinated and almost invisible elk. Below is a cruder elk, apparently the animal being hunted.
Three elegantly pecked elk—a cow and two stags—on a flat , high surface. Note that the animals are rendered as if after carved bone or wood or after cast metal prototypes from the Tagar Period.
Horizontal surface with several animals reflecting three different periods: a Bronze Age yak, below; a fine, stylized deer with exaggerated antlers, above; and a somewhat later, still whitish realistic elk on the right.
Hunter drawing bow towards two large elk, one with internal spots. Other animals, some much lighter in patination but not necessarily done later. Hunter wears belted tunic typical of the Early Nomads.
Red slab with images of large elk, deer, and dogs; in lower right section, a horned hunter holding several dogs on leashes and a second figure with readied bow.
Detail of large surface: large elk that has been pecked over an earlier scene. Note that the elk and several of the smaller animals have been more recently retouched, and that a coiled horn above the elk's back indicates earlier images.
Massive, table-like boulder (""Table Rock"") covered with images all in same style and with same patina. Subjects include moose, elk, hunting scene, and a probable birthing woman.On a hidden terrace overlooking the BO valley.
Detail of massive ""Table Rock,"" with hunter in upper left carrying a large weapon and approaching a moose surrounded by dogs. A fine elk in the lower left and a birthing woman in the center.
Arzhan-style deer with curious mineralization in area of chest around stone fracture. Its antlers are considerably lighter in tone: added later? Compare the variation in re-patination on this figure with the cruder, later goat on the left. Vertical surface.
Darkened surface of a fallen block: horned figure in an active posture, two large elk, and a few smaller animals. The images now tan in color were all probably done by the same hand while the light images above were done considerably later.
Detail of deer with very large antlers and elements of stylization: elongation of body, peak at withers, size of antlers. Note variation in the process of repatination. Overlay of scratched marks in at least two layers.
Composition with two large elk attacked by three wolves. Note that although the two elk are clearly done by the same hand, the treatment of their antlers varies and the body of the animal on the left is more stylized than that on the right.
Two large elk with varied treatment of bodies and antlers but done with the same pecking technique; several predators. On upper edge of scraped outcrop.
Detail of large boulder with animals in Arzhan style: fine elk with raised head. Note excellence of pecked technique, tight control of exterior contour.
Three standing archers with short bows, shooting at a pair of fleeing elk. The scene is pecked across a broken vertical cliff face with considerable sheen.
Deeply gouged surface with two layers: large elk with large antlers and crudely pecked animal (goat?) in center; above, deeply scored hunters shooting at caprids.
Rider chasing a large elk while shooting arrows. The rider has tied his reins around his waist in order to free his hands. He reaches back with one hand to take an arrow from his quiver while holding his bow with the other. He is accompanied by three dogs, one crudely pecked. The rider in the upper right may have been executed by another hand. The style of the horse and elk and the bow type point to a date in the late Bronze Age, but the rider indicates an already sophisticated skill in riding. The whole scene is finely pecked on a scraped and darkened surface.
Large elk predated on by wolves; second elk above. Contrast crude and fine pecking, probably all by same hand. Transitional patination. Scraped and darkened surface of outcrop.
Finely pecked profile deer with tall antlers, almost completely re-patinated. On the left are a few engraved lines, possibly of an archer but added much after the deer.
