I think that the object upper right must be chariot

@Thorgrim: Yes it is ;-))) There are at least even two chariots on this picture. The one on the left side is depicted without the animals.
@all: if you are not familiar with scandinavian rock art: although it looks like: this is not a painting. It is a rock carving, probably bronze age ;-) The touristic sites get painted.
There are hundreds of rock-panels in the bohuslän area, but 95% are more or less hidden to prevent damage. There are only few signposted public sites. Parts of Backa are public.
