Referred to also as the
"rain god", this is a classic example of an anthropomorph, a human-like
figure representing a shaman or supernatural being. The symbol above his
head has been interpreted as a lightning bolt, perhaps to evoke the power of
the gods of rain. Inspired by a Barrier Canyon style
pictograph, or rock art painting, on Head of Sinbad cliff in the San Rafael
Swell in Utah's Canyonlands National Park.
