Ecstatic Anthropomorph
This is a very small anthropomorph located just beside one of the hip feathered antropomorphs and right under the figure that looks like a cross. Hair in prehistory as well as our recorded historical time has been associated as one of the most magical parts of the body especially when unbound. This was true in the ancients depictions of the Pecos River Style. The upward and radiant stance of this anthropomorphs hair shows him in an ecstatic trance and at the height of his powers and immune to attacks by evil spirits. This is a recurrent theme throughout rock art of the south west.
