The Tycoon Lake petroglyph of a hand with a possible eye motif below it.
This angle of view distorts the image a little but is necessary to make the shallow lines visible.

The Tycoon Lake petroglyph of a hand with a possible eye motif
below it.
This angle of view distorts the image a little but is necessary
to make the shallow lines visible.
This is the field sketch I made showing every line that appeared
to be man-made.
The "eye" motif is very deeply cut whereas the lines in
the "hand" are very shallow.

Jim Murphy provides a scale for the height of the Horseshoe Cave
panel above the present floor.
He is pointing to the left panel of drawings. The central
anthropomorph is about
a foot and a half above his hand.
The Horseshoe Cave drawings. They are very difficult to see in
this photograph,
primarily because of the state of preservation and the very low
light conditions.
The central anthropomorph in the left group and the
diamond-shaped motif in
right group are barely visible (see the drawings below).
