This image reminds me of snakes. Professional opinions may differ, however. This location is near Barstow, California.
Maze Stone is near Hemet, California and has been accorded California State Historical Monument number 557. It is located in a county park by the same name in Riverside County in Cahuilla Indian territory. It is unknown as to who inscribed this rock but there are no mazes that I have seen that are similar.
This is one of my favorite petroglyphs and show an eagle-man or shaman. He overlooks a broad plain in the mountains north of Barstow.
This is another of my favorite images. The richness of the lichen overgrowing the inscription is a testament to the power of life over the "temporary" etching of man in stone. Eventually, the lichen will have eroded the etchings to the point of obliteration.
A hand may be portrayed here. I like the fan-like design aspects of this etchign and think that the lichen accentuates the pattern in the rock.
The locations of these carvings is not directly described here. All of these petroglyphs are found in the open. As many of the glyphs are found in the open, it would be difficult to protect all of them. It is some small measure of protection that I do not mention the exact location of these glyphs on this site.
Repetitive patterns are the motif here. I do not know whether this carving was done in a single sitting within a few days of each other session or that it was generated over the years. It seems to me that some counting is being done here and not just a pretty pattern on the rock.
Tapestry is what springs to mind when viewing this glyph. It is unique in that the technique of negative space is used here to portray a pattern.
