| Anthropomorphs |
|
This anthropomorph is unusual because of its exceptionally large four-fingered hands. It also appears that it is wearing a headdress, but it is mostly obscured by the rock spalling. |
|
This is the petroglyph that gives its name to the site. It appears to be a female anthropomorph in the act of giving birth. There are many small objects, footprints, and anthropomorphs surrounding this larger image. |
|
This is the other prominent anthropomorph on the same panel as the birthing figure. It appears to be of Fremont style, including the broad shoulders, necklace or breast plates, earrings, and what looks like a feathered cap. |
|
These are two of the three prominent triangular anthropomorphs that appear on a dark panel on the north side of the boulder. There is also a large snake facing the figures, and a large footprint; possibly that of a bear. |
|
This Fremont style anthropomorph appears with a snake; possibly a spirit helper. Also note the apparently later circular rubbing near the area of the heart. |
|
This Fremont style anthropomorph appears with what may be a snake or waves and a smaller anthropomorph with upraised arms. |
|
In this image there are two anthropomorphs. One of a Fremont style that does appear to have curled arms. The other appears to be of a different style, although both figures seem to have been created at about the same time. The smaller figure is holding a shield and has a feather protruding from its head. The large figure has the heart mark seen on several of these figures. |
|
This small figure has outstretched arms and is wearing a feather. |
|
This stick figure appears to be sitting on something, and may be holding a flute or spear and a small shield. |
|
This figure is holding a shield and appears to be attached to an object that could be a representation of an atlatl. |
|
This simple anthropomorph has slightly bent arms. |
|
In this image we see a tall, thin anthropomorph with a wavy arm extended over a much smaller, almost star-shaped figure. |
|
This figure may be carrying a walking stick in one hand and what looks like an atlatl in the other. The figure also seems to be wearing a backpack. |
| Footprints and Hand Prints |
|
A pair of what may be bear footprints. Note that the right print has six toes. |
|
This footprint may actually be the heavily decorated sole of a sandal, although it does appear to have five toes. |
| Geometric Figures and Patterns |
 |
This figure could represent anything from a map, to a snake, to a simple geometric design. The small figure in the lower right, that appears to be using a walking stick and is wearing a backpack lends credence to the map theory. |
 |
Could is wavy line represent another map, or a journey of some distance? The small figure in the lower right, apparently wearing a backpack, might lend credence to that interpretation. |
|
Could this figure represent the supernova of 1057? |
| Panels |
|
This is the major portion of the main panel, showing both the birthing mother and the large anthropomorph associated with it, as well as some of the smaller images that surround the two. |
|
This is a broader view of the image above, showing most of the panel on the eastern facing portion of the boulder. This view also shows the relative size of many of the images presented on this page. |
|
There are several different figures represented here. The largest anthropomorphic figure appears to be a male. There is an unusual looking bird-like figure just off of his right shoulder. Plus, there is what may be a canine, a small anthropomorph wearing a feather, and a pair of footprints. |
|
This panel shows a variety of interesting anthropomorphs and other objects. |
|
There are at least five, if not six similar anthropomorphs on this west facing panel. This panel includes the figure with the large hands. The possible sixth figure is wearing what might be an oversized headdress. |
|
This is the north facing panel, with its three triangular shaped anthropomorphs, is large and well defined snake, showing what might be rattles on its farthest end, and what looks like a well defined bear paw. |
|
This panel presents several footprints and sandal prints, as well as a partially obscured anthropomorph that may be a female (with an exposed womb) or a male (with two testicles). There is also a strange long-necked quadruped spirit helper just off the right shoulder of this figure. There are other small anthropomorphs as well as more squiggles that could be maps. |
|
Here is a close up of the partially obscured anthropomorph (mentioned above) and its horse-like spirit helper. There are also two nicely defined sandals. |
|
This panel shows what may be a snake next to a footprint or sandal. Or, the line could be a map, extending beneath the sandal and connecting with a cross. There may also be a small, odd-shaped zoomorph in the lower right corner. |
|
This is the south facing panel. Again, it shows what may be a map, with various anthropomorphs arrayed above the line. |
|
This is an interesting part of this site, in that the apparent atlatl that begins in the south facing panel, to the left, continues around the corner of the boulder to end near the two centipede-looking zoomorphs. There is also a set of five evenly spaced pecked dots below the atlatl, at the corner. The only other time that I've seen this crossover use of a corner was at various sites in the Albuquerque area of New Mexico. There, in most instances, it was a human or animal face that spanned the corner or edge. |
|
This is an all-inclusive view of one of the large panels on this boulder. |
|
Here we see a prominent comb-like graphic, with a big horn above it. If you look carefully to the right of the big horn you can make out a faded and thin anthropomorph aiming a bow and arrow at the Zoomorph. The figure may be wearing a pack, and may be considerably older than the big horn because it is so heavily repatinated as compared to the zoomorph. |
| Zoomorphs |
|
Three unidentifiable zoomorphs. |
|
Two zoomorphs that appear to be centipedes. Note the small canine-like zoomorph near the head of the smaller centipede. Also note what may be three footprints of some sort, one above the smaller centipede, and two on either side of the head of the larger centipede. |
|
This long-necked long-legged zoomorph gives the impression of a horse, but the cleft toes and short tail are more like those of a desert big horn. |
|
This appears to be a heavily eroded desert big horn. |
|
This appears to be a rattlesnake, with a large head to the right, and a small set of rattles to the left. |
