Variety of animals; stags with variety of antlers, ibex with large horns, two hunters. Scraped, rolled bedrock surface; natural pits have been enlarged artifically at some time in the past.
Detail of second rider on horse with long, full tail and head overlaid with leg of a later argali. Clear example of process of re-patination on argali. Scratch marks around images.
Surface high on eastern ridge of Shiveet Khairkhan with a variety of images: hunter, upper left, from the Bronze Age; two figures in combat, left (Bronze Age); large yak with load and goats (Late Bronze Age); stylized ibex with curled horn (Early Iron Age).
Elegantly pecked, stylized stag, small stag with other antlers but executed in same pecking style. Images repatinated, on red, polished bedrock surface, high terrace, east end of complex.
Boulder with lower section uncovered to reveal a large figure leading a loaded animal (horse?). Above, by another hand, a stag executed in Arzhan style and a figure riding a bull or horse.
Detail of two figures in probable scene of copulation above the woman and child in a family group. The pecking is rougher and the patina darker than in the family group, suggesting that the couple was done at another time.
Man leading a large loaded yak, second yak behind. On the top of the rock is a small hunter, aiming at a goat (?). Style and patina suggest that the man with the first loaded yak was done earlier, at the same time as the horse below. The other yaks were done later, as may have been the hunter above. On a cracked, scraped boulder
Two yaks, moving left, one partially covered by lichen. On large, scraped bedrock surface of rich reddish coloration; on high terrace, east end of complex.
East side of large panel with stylized deer. Above, a realistic stag; in the center, a highly stylized stag; and, below, where the earth has been cleared away, a pair of highly stylized deer. Red, broken surface of large outcrop.
Composition extended over large, broken outcrop: horses with stiff, upright manes; group of argali approached by wolves; and in upper right, a hunter walking toward the argali with bow readied.
Section of ""Large Panel,"" with stag with elaborate parcelling, small archer on left and dog and small figure (unfinished; unrelated?) on right. Scraped, discolored surface.
Large hunting scene with small archer, a woman standing above and to the left (?), many animals including some finely pecked goats, below. On boulder with scraped, cracked surface.
Stone with variety of animals: deer, wild goats and sheep, bulls, and loaded bull (?) with large tail (?) in upper right. This boulder has been lost since the photograph was taken.
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.
Detail of rider on spiky maned horse, with dog. Larger spiky maned horse on the right may have been enhanced by scoring at a later period, and the horn of the goat on the left may have been repecked more recently. On high, scraped, and damaged surface.
Crude archer drawing long bow in direction of a large stag attacked by two dogs or wolves; second figure approaches from the right. On boulder surface.
Wolf or feline with long tail chasing a large argali. Note the unfinished horn, the shifting patination from whitish to brown. Pecked, scraped bedrock.
Detail of three riders/hunters from the upper part of the panel, showing possibility of variation in the execution of images even when they may have been executed at the same time and by the same hand. Note the similarity between the three in terms of the postures of the riders and they manner in which they sit their horses.
Group of animals of which the three largest are probably by the same hand: stag on left, followed by dogs or wolves, two long-horned yak, one unfinished. On horizontal surface of outcrop.
Large scene with frontal figures, variety of animals, several large water birds, and possibly two figures in combat above. On long, sloping surface with much of the pecking muted from wear.
Caravan scene with woman leading a yak on which is a large (older?) figure. On either side and below, archers hunting wild animals. On worn section of Large Panel. The character of the pecking, patina, and style suggests a scene by one hand.
Large surface covered with a variety of animals, both wild and domesticated. In lower left, a man with a large hanging object (throwing stone?). In upper left, a stylized, more recent animal. In center, an almost invisible, scraped, frontal female figure.
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.
Small hunter with mushroom shaped hat and two boar—one executed in a fine late Bronze Age style (Arzhan?), the other cruder. On a badly ruined, over-pecked vertical surface.
Outcrop in broken sections covered with variety of elements, including three hunters and a number of finely pecked animals. Note spalled sections of hardened, darkly varnished crust.
Tagar rider holding a recurve bow; several small animals, probably of the same period; and a snow leopard facing left and done at a later period. On scraped section of ""Large Panel"".
Small boulder with scene of a hunter, several dogs, a large moose (?) identifiable by its bell, and, possibly, a stag. If this is a moose image, it suggests a relatively late date for the transition to a climate too dry for such animals. On right bank of Khar Salaa just above confluence with Tsagaan Salaa.
Three images, possibly all by different hands: tall figure with long staff, daluur, quiver (Bronze Age); crude goat Iron Age); boar done in an elaborate parcelled style (Arzhan or Pazyryk style).
Several animals on high, rough outcrop just west of large bulls; in the center is a large deer head of the type known as ""Oglakhty,"" associated with the Sayan Mountain region.
Figure standing in the basket of a cart, one arm raised (?); two harnessed horses; several wild caprids, horses, and a wolf with long tail and large ears. On upper surface of small boulder.
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.
Two men apparently swinging around the heads of two confronting bulls. The leg of the bull on the left overlays an earlier, scored image. Modern mark on upper left.
Profile animal originally outlined with clear contours, pecked, and possibly scored over earlier, somewhat random pecking. Chaulky patination shifting to dark coloration.
Wolf, partially covered by lichen, chasing two ibex on finely scraped, red bedrock surface. Note extremely deep, careful pecking in contrast to that of the (later) bull image, lower right. On high terrace, east end of complex.
Group of images on vertical, broken surface; four figures, each with different implements and weapons, one holding two large sticks (?), another drawing his bow, a third tall figure with spear and what may be a dagger in his belt. Compare this last figure with that in RA_PETR_TG_0822.
Archer walking and shooting to the right. From his waist hangs a long daluur. Note variation in re-patination; this and the figure type indicate the probable date.
