Rock art scene with the goats

3D Model

The eponymous block from the Goat’s cave, Kamyana Mohyla*, was discovered by B. Mykhailov in the late 1980ies. It depicts two goats engraved in different techniques — the left is displayed in negative relief, and the right one is contoured. The hunter from the right holds a spear and bow. He has horns on his head. Right from his is an unclear engraving, previously interpreted as a hut or a wagon. The chronological attribution is not clear.

*The unique rock art site in Ukraine (Zaporizhzhya region) is under russian occupation since February 2022.
