Hunting Scene with Ibex

This engraved boulder (8th c. BC–5th c. AD) shows a hunting scene with wild ibexes and human figures in motion across its surface. The pecked outlines follow the rock’s curves, using natural contours to animate the animals and hunters. Such imagery reflects the importance of mountain game in early nomadic subsistence and ritual, linking the surrounding landscape to group identity and shamanic practice.
