Title

Castle Garden Plate 17

Subject

New Deal, 1933-1939.; Petroglyphs -- Wyoming.

Description

Plate 17 from the Castle Garden collection An Anthropomorphic and Zoomorphic panel; the phallic figure of a man is seen at the left. Bear tracks cover his costume and probably represent him as a great hunter of bears. The four-legged figure to the right resembles a bird, despite the number of legs, and an arrowshaft through the back no doubt caused its death. Perhaps the "legs" represent arrowshafts too.
