Transformation Scene

Barrier Canyon Style rock art panel

A snake with horns and arms is not unusual in rock art, but this one is dripping blood or venom from its mouth. A transformation is possibly shown with the second figure from the left as it seems to be a bird but has human-like feet.

Some think this scene represents a transformation, with the two figures on the left being the same two tall figures on the right. Someone started to chisel out the figure on the far right.

This section has some forms with human-like feet but not all. Note the "roots" coming out from the feet of the figure third from the right.

This small human-like figure (5.5 inches / 14 centimeters tall) may be playing a flute, which is very unusual to see in Barrier Canyon Style art.

The left part of this panel is up under an overhang, which has protected it from the elements and is partly why it is so well preserved.
