Indian rock painting

By tarasun, 23 March, 2014
Description

This is a rock that was found in SE Oklahoma.   It is a painting of an object flying into the sunset.  The wings on the object are very detailed.  I have been told that it is a painting by a tribe that pre dates the 5 civilized tribes by maybe 100 years.  It looks to be painted by using of berrys or other natural things and then maybe fired in a flame.  It is 6inches across, 4 inches tall and about 2 inches thick.  It is on a rock that is native to this part of Oklahoma.

If anyone has any info on this it will be greatly appreciated.

I'm 60 year old Native Shoshone California (Indian) my family is from the Oklahome area, dad's tribes are Seneca/Cayuga, my sister is merriad to a Kickapoo, SE Okla. tribe. Choctars and Chickasaw were the oldest of SE Okla..

The links I sent you at top are of FAKE Indian Rock art found out here in AZ. the other link is  Real Native American Rock art. I want you to see the styles used.. Yours is like the fake ones. I have NEVER in my life seen Rock Art like yours that was real..

Let me explan..Nothing in nature has stright lines, Your sun  stright lines are to perfect. , The Man looks like a really bad Rubber Stamp .. when someone in the Old days drew something they mostly were telling a story of what happend to them that day, or something they seen happen. Huntings, Meetings, Gatherings of tribes..maybe seen sheep, deer ,bear. now your photo theme is about someone flying to the sun dressed like a bird..   Not something we would draw on a Rock.. I do not clam to be an Expert on this, But after 60 years I do know Native Indian Art..

One other point I would like to make.. look at the stamp mark to the left looks like a up side down L of 7.. its to perfect..(understand?)  If I am wrong please let me know what an expert tells you I would really love to hear what they say.. Thanks Good Luck.
