2. Product Description
This striking photograph showcases the Procession Panel, one of the most famous and complex examples of rock art in the American Southwest, located on the sheer face of Comb Ridge in Bears Ears National Monument, Utah. Dating back to the Basketmaker III period (c. 650–800 AD), the panel features nearly 180 anthropomorphic figures marching in single file toward a central circular element, believed to represent a great kiva, a ceremonial gathering, or a migration.
