Description

This petroglyph forms part of the Carnota Open-air Archaeological Museum. The best time to see it is at sunset in the light of the sun’s last rays. It seems to represent the figure of a woman with a child in her arms. Although its meaning is still an enigma today, the most evocative hypothesis points to the representation of the figure of a mother goddess associated with numerous fertility rites.
