This Puebloan Basketmaker panel is located on a cliff wall facing the San Juan river and features decorated, life-sized anthropomorphic figures. This is a good example of the anthropomorphic rock art tradition shared with the preceding Barrier Canyon and contemporary Fremont cultures. Note the elaborate headdresses and the hanging hands and feet. The figure on the right is thought to be wearing a mask.
