Description
Plate 12 from the Castle Garden collection
An Anthropomorphic Chromopetroglyph of a warrior on a shield. He is depicted holding two feathered spears. The sandstone is badly cracked, but the surface was smooth before the Indian artists engraved this figure. The colors of the figure are the following:
the feathers are white; the face is green and featureless; the neck is purplish-red; the shoulders are orange-yellow; the upper garment is green and the skirt is purlish-red. This is one of the finest figures although the colors are faded. The two zig-zag lines on the shoulders are like those on the Great Turtle. The diameter of the circle is about 16 3/4 inches across.
