Transformation Scene, Barrier Canyon Style Rock Art Painting

Horned snake with arms dripping from its mouth, beside striped and bird-like figures

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.

Row of tall dark Barrier Canyon Style figures thought to show a transformation

Some think this scene represents a transformation, with the two figures on the left being the same two tall figures on the right, but I think that's wild speculation. Someone started to chisel out the figure on the far right.

Barrier Canyon Style figures, some with human-like feet and one with root-like lines

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.

Small human-like figure that may be playing a flute

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.

Painted figures under a sandstone overhang that has protected them from weather

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.
