The glacially smoothened granite surface is partly well preserved here. To give an idea of the scale: Length of the riders is 27cm - 36cm [1]. One horse is unfinished (unfinished carvings occur very often). Anthropomorph upper left in adoring posture with undulating line in front. Possibly similar to more obvious carvings of humans with snakes.

(2011-10-28) | Yes. As it seems they unfortunately painted it in an intense white nowadays making any details of the carvings invisible. So I took these documentation from archive. Seems it is not that well appreciated ;) |
