Head of Sinbad Panel, Barrier Canyon Style Rock Art Paintings

Head of Sinbad figure with a headdress, small birds and a snake, beside a faded figure

The exceptional anthropomorphic figure on the right has been reproduced in art and sculpture. Note the small birds flying around its headdress and the chest embellishment. The round forms on the right with strands extruding to the right are baffling for what they represent, as are the seven small white forms between the two large figures. The encroaching water stain on the left has covered up part of the panel.

On this well-preserved panel the mysterious long slender objects have snakes coming out the top. Noteworthy is that the anthropomorphic figures have holes in their hands and feet.

This nearby panel is known as Half-panel. Like so many rock art panels it must have been amazing once. Underneath the half forms are four horned snakes and on the far right birds fly to the right. Some of these forms also have holes in their feet.

This photo shows the birds on the right. It's a shame about the large image on the left, it would have been wonderful to see.

This panel is a little to the left of Half-panel. Parts of it may be Abstract-geometric.
