Rock Art in Buskerud

In the middle of a beautiful public park in between huge apartment buildings in the city of Drammen is a rock art panel. The panel is a exposed flat rock outcrop surrounded by lawns. A metal fence is surrounding the panel and has a gate to the west with a metal information poster.

The rock art panel consists of 3 figures. The panel measure 5,2X5,2 metres and is cleared of any moss and growth. The figures were painted red but some of the red paint have eroded away.

The panel is dominated by a large beautiful figure probably of an elk. The body is trapeziod shaped and the head long and narrow and crowned by a 10 pointed antelor. Inside the animal there are lines and artowork possibly picture internal organs. The legs are beautifully carved. The figure is 1,75 metres long and 65 cm in height.

27cm east of the head of the elk is a triangle shaped figure with two cup marks in front of each of the long sides of the triangle. It is uncertain what this figure symbolizes. 1,2 metres west of the head of the elk is a bird figure with the head to the North.The figure is 40 cm long and 10 cm wide.

The rock art have been dated to later stone age. It is typical rock art from hunter gatherer culture.
