Petroglyph oil painting - Three Sheep  

Three Sheep
 24" x 48"

Different symbols hold different meanings for different people, in this case the Hopi, Zuni and Navajo peoples, who have long histories in the area of Petrified Forest National Park in northern Arizona, where this petroglyph can be viewed. However, sheep were often depicted in groups, perhaps signifying abundance, which would extend to the availability of water and food sources.
