This image is, again, from the Great Gallery. Here you can see some of the smaller images set between the larger figures. You can also see the detail that has gone into some of these anthropomorph figures, with intricate detail work superimposed. (The little figure used in the left margin of this page is also from the Great Gallery.)
One interesting figure is the smaller anthropomorph near the bottom, just to the right of center. This may be some sort of a Kokopelli with a flute or just a representation of a hunter, with a spear or atl atl.
One of the things that struck us with many of these figures is their ghost-like appearance. Many seem to be floating, and the lower extremity seems to be only sketched in, sometimes with wavy markings that give them the impression of floating or drifting up into the sky. Perhaps the souls of departed members of the social unit. |
