Southwest Art Petroglyph Wall Hangings

HOME

Petroglyphs photographed at rock art sites and carved in stone make great southwest art wall hangings for your home or office!  why buy petroglyph replicas?   I use natural stone (not a composite stone or plaster or cement) and frame them in finished oak. The width and height of each piece is given along with some information about the image. The frames are made from 3/4" or 1.5" oak  that vary slightly  color as does the texture and color of the individual stones, making each a truly unique piece of southwestern art.

Jot down the item number of the piece you want and call (310) 836-0121 or
email daustin@sandcarveddesigns.com to place your order.

Why no 'shopping cart', why call my order in? Each carved stone is individually made. Because of the unique characteristics of each individual stone pieces carved with the same petroglyph image appear different from each other. The pictures on the carved stone pages show the actual items for sale... the phone call is to confirm the items you have selected are still available and have not been previously sold.

Patterned body sheep are not common in the Coso range of eastern California. These five sheep from Big Petroglyph Canyon may represent a shaman's vision while he was in a trance state in the spirit world. Circa 300 BC--AD 900.  $215 plus $25 shipping

Eight sheep in a line.
These eight sheep are carved into the wall of a remote canyon in the Coso Range near Ridgecrest, CA. When traveling to and from feeding grounds and watering holes it is common for bighorn sheep sheep to walk in single file. This petroglyph appears to be a prehistoric depiction of that activity. The style used to portray these sheep; thick legs, round body shape, and parallel horns curving back indicate it was made at least 2000 years ago, and possibly much earlier.  sold
