Group of animals representing several different hands and periods. The bulls and dogs or wolves are by one hand, the large horse and goats by one or two other hands.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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"".
Two large, stylized stags under lichen. The stag on the left is unfinished (note antler, upper neck). On highly polished, fractured, and scraped bedrock surface covered with lichen.
Herd of goats on two different sections of split boulder. Those above are probably earlier than the small group below. Note the treatment of some of the animals as if seen in a three-quarter pose. The vertical surface may delay the repatination of the images; thus the upper group may belong to the Early Nomadic Period.
Chariot with driver, two horses, wheels with uneven number of spokes. Representation of basket unclear and yoke is missing. On horizontal section of Large Panel.
Horse of wild Mongolian type, represented with interior animals. Belongs to a tradition including the representation of pregnant animals and of representing animals by a technique of sparing out the surface. On small boulder.
Group of four figures with spears and other weapons intended to be seen either as individual figures or in some kind of combat or hunt. These are found on the north side of a large block; on the other side are several other figures of the same type and execution.
Fine yak with neck fringe and up-curving horns, led by an unfinished or worn figure (female) and carrying a faintly visible load. On horizontal outcrop high on eastern ridge of Shiveet Khairkhan.
Shattered surface of outcrop covered with several layers of imagery: hunting scenes, chariot with horses laid feet to feet, one wheel overlaid by a large animal; and a large elk (upper right) which seems to have been pecked over an argali with elaborate horn.
Stylized ibex superimposed on earlier scratched scene involving two indeterminate animals (behind) and a hunter with long bow (on right). On scraped, horizontal bedrock high on eastern ridge of Shiveet Khairkhan.
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.
Group of horses with one rider and a small predation scene (wolf, horse); composition spread over several broken boulders at top of the ridge overlooking the right bank of the Baga Oigor.
Detail of south side of large boulder: at the top, a camel rider with the clothing and bow of an Early Nomad; in front of him, a ram (his prey?) and a stylized stag attacked by a dog; behind him, what may be a birthing figure or copulating figures. Skin of the boulder is much darkened, varnished, and spalled from matrix.
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.
View of standing and fallen stones from southeast within broken rectangular frame. Boulders on the east side are the remains of circular altars. In high, isolated draw.
Detail of flat, worn slab with deep red surface; two large yaks on left, two wheeled vehicles in center, and faint hunter with several animals.Located on high east ridge of Shiveet Khairkhan.
Detail of Large Panel: chariot drawn by two horses, yoked but without reins. Driver stands in basket and appears to be shooting an arrow toward a small animal. Other animals by same hand; modern scratched elements.
Section of Large Panel with chariot in upper right with driver/hunter; hunter on foot overlaid by spotted boar executed in same style as felines elsewhere on Large Panel.
View of six stones, standing and fallen, within broken rectangular enclosure. Boulders on the east side of the enclosure are the remains of circular altars. Within isolated high draw with view to the southwest to Shiveet Khairkhan.
Two archers on horseback, one well done, the other more clumsy. Both done in a style indicative of the Tagar Period. On scraped, worn west section of Large Panel.
Full view of outcrop used as if it were a landscape setting: a hobbled horse is visible in the upper left, an archer walking right in the lower center, and a large elk attacked by either snow leopards or, more likely, wolves, to the right of the man.
Section of ""Large Panel,"" with large stag confronted by a small rider/archer and (behind) a dog. Above, partially lost under the lichen, is another rider, possibly belonging to the same composition.
Detail of two figures in combat; that on the right is less finished than that on left. Both carry bows with slightly curved tips, suggesting composite bows.
Hunter with bow, several animals executed with varied techniques and, possibly, varied hands. Note use of dense scraping of goat image.On edge of bedrock high on eastern ridge of Shiveet Khairkhan.
Section of Large Panel with several instances of overlay: rider scratched onto an earlier leopard, leopards juxtaposed with earlier bull, and Tagar rider and horses (lower left). Deeply scraped, worn.
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.
Composition with large elk attacked by two snow leopards or wolves; on lower left, an archer with a ""horned"" headdress approaches the group. This composition, together with a hobbled horse (not visible here), is arranged on the fractured sections of an outcrop as if the outcrop were a landscape setting.
Group of intertwined, stylized stags on the side of a curved outcrop. Images were executed with dense pecking, resulting in the appearance of a tattoo.
Pair of stags executed in a style associated with Arzhan tradition; on deeply mineralized, high horizontal outcrop. Note variation in patination of larger stag.
