Detail of large boulder with animals in Arzhan style: bull with interior animals rendered in relieved style. Note controlled pecking despite rough surface of stone.
Small boulder with scraped western face on which are finely pecked 10 wheeled vehicles with their drivers and horses. Several other later, large elements pecked on the upper left side indicating that the boulder broke apart by the Late Bronze Age.
Fine bull or yak with lowered head and round horns on cracked and abraded outcrop. Uneven coloration reflects the transitional process of re-patination and is typical of images from this period.
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.
Dog confronting a plantigrade bull; bear above and a small stag below, uncertain animal on left. On variegated vertical surface. Note that the small stag was pecked over the area from which the original surface fell out.
One of three riders with other animals, pecked into sloping side of large, deeply scraped outcrop. Style and transitional patina indicate a Late Bronze or Early Iron Age date.
Deer stone in the center of 11+ small, ruined circles. A second deer stone lies on the ground. Stones reddish and black. Located on Khöltsöötiin Khödöö.
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.
Sloping surface with several figures and animals, and a spoke wheel cart with driver, two stacked horses, and two larger horses which may be associated with the cart.
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.
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.
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.
View of large boulder dominating East Ritual Site, with several stylized deer, birthing women, hunting scenes and dwellings on upper part of stone. Entire stone has been pecked over, as if in a ritual activity. Stone faces out from the ritual site toward Turegtiin Ikh Uul on the south.
Group of images including a hunter with horned headdress, bow, and throwing stone; a large yak; and four birds, possibly a kind of vulture. The stag is probably of a later time. On a sloping boulder in a high draw of the section.
Detail of hunting scene: two hunters, in profile, shooting at an elk stuck with many arrows. Below, a cow elk attacked by dogs. Pecking is crude and some of the images may be overpecked.
Detail with fine archer with quiver and drawn bow, nursing wolf or dog above, running goats. Note lacquer-like whitened patina of wolf, transition of patina as boulder descends.
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.
Large hunting scene of the type ""life-line,"" with several archers on the left and many animals, all attached by a continuous line. On vertical surface of large boulder. This is the most complicated of several ""life-line"" compositions in the Khar Chuluut section. A large area at the bottom of the boulder has been cleared to reveal more hunters and animals. See second view, RA_PETR_TG_0817.
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.
Section of ""Large Panel"" with snow leopard; goats confronted by dogs; an archer with large bow, drawn arrow, and daluur; and two riders, one of which brandishes a Tagar battle axe. Horiontal, deeply scraped surface.
Small hunter with drawn bow facing two goats arranged on a trail. A small dog chases the large goat and what looks like a horse stands below, perhaps awaiting the hunter. The pecked surface has fallen off the images leaving the matrix revealed. Broken bedrock surface.
Various animals and woman leading a yak loaded with unidentified structures. The style of the woman's head indicates a Late Bronze Age date, but several of the individual animals below are later. Small boulder without scrape at the top of the BO I slope.
Group of figures on left side of curved outcropping. Bulls, goats, argali below. In center left, a single female figure (?) with long braids. Several hunters, one with a large bow with extended tips, another leading a horse as he draws his bow. The upper group appears to have been executed later than the lower group of images.
Detail of large surface with woman holding the leads of several fine yaks including two with spots; horses; dogs attacking a wild argali in the center.
