Description
Plate 19 from the Castle Garden collection
A complex panel of great interest from the point of interpretation. The phallic figure of a man appears at the upper left. Below this an elk is recognized and the same phallic sign is seen in the circle upon the body. Note that the elk has two eyes although the animal is portrayed in profile. The circle below also shows a phallic design. A bear track appears at lower left. The figure in the circle (right) is that of a woman. Note the female sign. From the crude contourts of the body, it would appear to represent a pregnant woman. An Anthropomorphic figure may be seen at the left of the cirlc.e Several other phallic and female signs are represented below this circle. At the extreme right appears a shield or drum.
