Abstract

This paper analyzes a scene from the Kamenny 7 panel, the Kanozero petroglyph complex (North-West Russia). This is the only narrative composition on Kanozero that can be called “Elk Hunting with a Bow”. Previously, it was not distinguished and not analyzed. The article presents arguments in favor of the compositional connection of this scene with the neighboring large composition “Bear Hunting”. The typological similarity of the analyzed scene with another elk hunting scene from this cluster was also revealed. The figure of an elk hunt with a bow is compared with similar scenes from Alta (Norway) and Zalavruga (Karelia, Russia).
