Transformation Scene, Barrier Canyon Style Rock Art Painting

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

This scene is the far left side of the panel. A snake with horns and arms is not unusual in rock art but this one is dripping blood or venom from its mouth. The bird on the left has human-like feet.

Water damage has eroded the forms in the middle of this scene.

Note the "roots" on the figure third from the right.

This is a close-up of the forms on the left from the photo above. There is another horned snake with something dripping from its mouth and this figure also has human-like feet. The form on the right appears to be holding a snake.

This eroded image is a bit further to the right.

Small Barrier Canyon Style figure that may be playing a flute

This is a close-up of the image above. Here a small human-like figure (5.5 inches / 14 centimeters tall) seems to be playing a flute, which is nearly unique in Barrier Canyon Style art.

Also to the far right is this figure.
