sketchfab

This is a section of Palatki Grotto Panel 21. A red-brown checkerboard pattern is thought to be an early Archaic work, possibly dating back thousands of years. The intricate design appears layered on top of other images, sparking debate over the true age of these ancient markings. This model is part of a larger effort to study how Archaic and younger artwork overlays older petroglyphs.
