Rock Art in Veracruz.
The pecked stone petroglyphs of shaman figures are thought to be about 500 years old. There are also spiral patterns pecked into the rock face.
They were discovered in January 2013 by members of the local farming community on the slopes of Cerro del Sombrerete (Hill of the Hat.)
The location given is only roughly approximate.
Note: Shaman petroglyph recorded in Veracruz.
