A complex panel of shields and possibly drums. The shield to the extreme left is a chromopetroglyph. Four heads complete the design and a green band was painted across each face. Below it is the figure of a buffalo. The circle to the right of the yard stick contains the figures of two prong horn antelopes. To the right may be seen a man with a spear. The circle to the right of this figure represents two birds, sage or grouse. Above this a shield represents what appears to be the sun symbols. To the right of this is another shield with many inner circles and two feathers at the top right. Below this may be seen a circle containing two weasels, usual sign of a medicine man. To the right of this, the four quarters of the moon is represented. Below this, a shield containing six bear claws radiating from a central circle. The last shield is complex with zig-zag, lightning like lines of a symbolic nature. This is probably the best group of shields to be seen at Castle Gardens. They are beginning to erode badly and the uppermost circle is practically gone. The paint on the one circle is also hard to trace.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
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.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
A complex panel of shields and symbolic designs. The left hand shield is eroded and of an unknown meaning. The central shield has a design resembling a bird. The last shield shows a medicine man wearing a head-dress and with a weasel on each side of the figure. Below these shields is a complex panel, of which several figures resemble hide stretchers and an arrowshaft may be recognized below the third shield. The sandstone here is eroded and peeling.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
A panel depicting four shields and an Anthropomorphic figure. The upper left hand shield is a simple design of an oblong bar with a circle on each side. Beside it appears the figure of a man. The upper right hand shield bears two turtles, similar to the others at Castle Gardens, and a snake-like figure. It is natural to suppose that the shield had four turtles in each quarter before erosion removed the right two turtles. The two lower shields have designs of a symbolic nature and are too worn to for recohnition. Note how visitors have defaced the sandstone.]]>
A complex but badly eroded panel of shields and tool-grooves. Many of these designs are barely recognizable. The two shields to the right are the best preserved. The extreme right hand shield has a bird for a central design, and several tool-grooves have been deeply cut. Above this shield appears a full-face view of a man with head-dress and below the shield the legs are shown. Actually it is a man behind the shield. The shield to the left of this figure is the same thing-a man behind it and also carrying a lance with feathered end. Tool-grooves and other designs are upon it. The designs below this symbol are quite similar to the rain symbols of the Southwest.]]> http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/]]>
