Two goats on sloping surface of boulder. Both appear to have the same light patina and similar simple style, but the lower image is more competantly handled than is the upper image: one hand? Two different hands?
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
Boulder with several crude figures, scenes of hunting, and two carts, both with solid wheels. One cart has a driver with no apparent reins, the other has no driver.
Man carrying bow and leading a herd of yaks, several with plantigrade feet. One yak is damaged by a spalled surface. On vertical face of high, damaged outcrop.
Two large walking birds, followed by a possible predator. Between the predator and birds, remains of a much older image, possibly an ibex. In front of the birds is visible a crude animal, weakly pecked.
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.
Large, stylized stag done in a crude version of the Arzhan or Pazyryk style; on vertical surface of large outcrop. Within a draw on south side of valley, east end of complex.
Several crude animals and small scene of a frontal figure with line (umbilical cord?) to animal. Beside this figure is that of a child, but possibly done by another hand. Small, broken boulder.
Two hunters attached by so-called ""life line"" to a series of animals mounting up the rock face. On deeply varnished, fractured outcrop. This ""life-line"" composition is one of three in this immediate area (Khar Chuluut). Style of figures suggests that the lower group (with hunters) was done later than the upper group.
Detail of small figure scratched and rubbed, possibly over a much earlier figure. Note dark, gouged upper section of long bow; trajectory of arrow gouged over an earlier animal; other elements, including a small deer (upper right) and possible lightly scratched recurve bow, upper left, over deeply incised marks. On upper section of ""Wild Bull Panel"" surface.
Crudely pecked deer with large antlers, followed by either a wolf or a feline. Other engraved elements including a large bow (below deer), and section of a large ibex, upper left. Upper section of surface with ""Wild Bull Panel.""
Large cow or bull attacked by a long-tailed animal (snow leopard?). Small figure beneath the bovid and possibly another animal attacking its nose. Upper section of jutting outcrop.
Two yaks, partially damaged, walking right; small, possibly earlier bull on right. These images were pecked on a stone later (now) used for framing a Turkic enclosure. Located on plateau on the right bank of the upper Tsagaan Gol.
Hunter with drawn bow; dogs above, other marks. Note variety of pecking suggesting at least two periods. The wolves above were probably done by the same hand, but the underlying surface makes for distinct differences in quality of pecking. Large, crude elements are later as may be the hunter. On terrace, south side of upper Tsagaan Gol valley.
Argali on red boulder executed in a style similar to that of another argali on an adjacent boulder. The latter, however, is more archaic in appearance.
Two scenes of animal predation, one on a small deer and the other on a larger elk. The distinct difference in patina and surface condition indicates that the scene was executed by two different hands at two different times. However, style differences indicate that the larger figures are later than the lighter, but finer small animals. On broken bedrock in terrace, right bank of upper Tsagaan Gol.
Tangle of overlaid images on larger panel. In the center are two small archers aiming their bows at each other; the one on the right is overlaid by a crouching feline (?), while that on the left is overlaid by a large caprid. Several running, crosshatched wolves are visible in the center and an earlier, heavy bull is on the left.
Wolf attacking a large-horned ibex from back and neck. Variation in patination and comparison with much darker ibex on right suggests that this image has been refreshed since the Early Iron Age.
Scene with animals in several different styles but possibly by the same hand: horses and squared animals with interior open pecking. This scene has been overlain by a scratched in scene of hunter with long, recurve bow and various animals. On fractured bedrock in Khar Chuluut.
Detail of RA_PETR_TG_0929, with two riders on horses with elaborate regalia. Although the image at the top is most finely pecked, the two images are clearly by the same hand and period. Note the variation in patina, including the appearance of a fine, hard white covering on the lower animal, possibly caused by scoring.
Detail of two lower riders in RA_PETR_TG_0932. Note engraved outline for rider and horse's hindquarters, treatment of legs in manner typical of Tashtyk style.
