Utah 300-1200 A.D. Length: 36 inches. Height: 29 inches. This magnificent classic Vernal-style petroglyph is found in the Uinta Basic in Northern Utah. It is the most elaborately-carved fremont panel in existence. The figures are largely incised, making possible the fluid outlines and the variety of textural effects. The figures have broad shoulders, square bucket-shaped or inverted bucket-shaped heads, and headdresses that are often in the form of horns. Many have ear bobs, necklaces and sashes. Some of the headdresses appear to to crowns--others look like feathers. When it was carved, the rock wall must have been near ground level. Today, probably due to erosion, the petroglyphs are 100 feet above the ground. Petroglyphs are carving in rock made by ancient peoples who vanished, leaving behind these figures and symbols as silent mysteries. Native Americans consider petroglyphs sacred testimony of their ancestors. Ken's unique process transfers the images to beautiful metal art with no harm to the native rock carvings. These images can now pass from hand to hand and from generation to generation. Ken works in stainless steel into which he cuts the images from the rock. Each piece is then processed to give it a beautiful, soft copper-colored patina.
