Engraved sandstone piece from Kamyana Mohyla

3D Model

A right, largest part of the large sandstone slab covered with desert varnish. The slab broke in three parts, probably during decontextualization in 1973. Its front part is covered with shallow incisions and several deeper and better noticeable engravings that do not form any kind of ornamentation. Black pigment and figurative depictions were added by V. Danilenko in 1974 and do not correspond to what is engraved on the piece.

Found in Churinga cave of Kamyana Mohyla, Ukraine
