Description
Plate 21 from the Castle Garden collection
A complex Anthropomorphic panel with several shields. The upper left hand figure is eroded. Several symbolic designs are to the right of this figure, one appears to have fringes and decorative designs suggesting a costume, although there is no head shown. Below these a shield may be seen. In the center two phallic men are clearly shown. Note that the upper figure has marks suggesting ribs and spinal column. To the right appears several figures and a shield or drum. Beside the yard stick may be seen another phallic male. The sandstone is quite eroded and parts of the figure are missing. Above this is a circle containing a line of Anthropomorphic figures. Only the heads and a line for the body were engraved-an example of impressionism, and probably indicating a war party. Below this appears another phallic figure.
