Plots and styles in the Tuva rock carving art.
The main subjects of the Bronze Age rock carving art are masks, humanoid figures with mushroom-like heads, chariots and others, but the main character is an ox. Images of oxen differ by stylistic features, shapes of bodies and horns. There are many of Scythian Petroglyphs on the sites and the main character here is a stag. Plots with slaughtering, chasing, scenes of hunting, predators are widely spread in the Scythian art. Rock images from Tuva have many analogies in the art of other regions of Central Asia, and at the same time they are rather original.
