One Stone With Many Images: Part Three

Here is the third set of photos.

I think the images pretty much speak for themselves, but I will note that initially, I didn't spot the set of small figures that appear in Photos 5-11. They're quite tiny. My impression is that they're standing in the entrance of a cave. Also, what appeared to be the gown of the wizard character in earlier photos now looks like a First Nations/native figure in Photo 17. It is not uncommon to see different images from different angles. 

As a very general observation (and not one carved in stone!) these artists often made use of natural colour. The blue part will sometimes feature a sky or water scene with the white markings being clouds or waves. Similarly, the brown part may feature land or animals found on land.
