Two archers with recurve bows and gorytus apparently shooting toward each other; nearby an aurochs or yak. Boulder within a draw in the eastern half of section.
Section of ""Large Panel"" with two stags and a snow leopard, all by different hands and from different periods. The upper stag is from the Pazyryk Period, the lower stag has characteristics of the Tashtyk style, and the snow leopard is Iron Age. Deeply scraped, discolored horizontal surface.
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).
Deer or elk suckling her young and confronted by a predator (dog?). Crushed hardened rind has fallen out in several places, revealing the dark grey matrix.
Group of images in same pecking style, including a highly stylized deer, a caprid, and a man on horseback possibly pulling a cart? On low, broken boulder.
View of boulder (""Encyclopedia stone"") with images indicative of Early Iron Age traditions: camel with four riders, back-turned animals, stylized stags, back-turned rider in ""Parthian shot""; second rider; and (on other side of stone) archer on foot.
Rider in Early Nomadic costume, drawing bow. In his gorytus is held another bow. Rendition of rider and his horse is fine, that of the other animals is uncertain. Flat bedrock surface with deep scrape.
Balbal in the form of a deer stone, with five small animals (horses?) on east side, stylized deer with heads up, on north side; and stylized deer with heads down, on south side; circles (earrings) on upper north and south sides. The smaller stone on the left has been covered with modern writing. Located on east end of row of balbal.
Large deer stone with inverted images; smaller broken deer stone; from group of four (?) deer stones south of six sunken Early Nomadic burials with balbal and balbal-deerstone.
View over a terrace on the left bank of the river above the confluence of the Tygyd Gol: approximately 22 mounds in rough north-south rows. The group includes 13 of a small size and the rest of a typical Early Iron Age size.
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.
Bedrock with two stylized stags (upper stag with unclear body, covered by lichen) and five frontal figures: dancing? Birthing? Ritual figures? See RA_PETR_OI_0004 for related composition, just below this one.
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.
Wolf or feline with long tail chasing a large argali. Note the unfinished horn, the shifting patination from whitish to brown. Pecked, scraped bedrock.
View of early Iron Age burials and row of balbal from northwest. Mounds sunken or partially removed to construct modern cemetery. South end of Khöltsöötiin Khödöö.
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.
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"".
Leaping (?) ibex, finely pecked; cruder deer with large antlers, below. Note variation in pecking and handling of contours. Both on vertical, smooth, scraped surface. Technique.
Finely pecked but crude figure of a stylized stag with a raptor-like head. Lower figure of a more deeply repatinated, but roughly pecked caprid. Outcrop on east side of section.
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.
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.
