Quail rock art panel, Archaeological site in Cedar Mesa, San Juan County, Utah, US
The Quail rock art panel displays red and yellow shield figures along with pictographs measuring approximately six inches in height on the canyon walls.
The panel contains artwork created between 500 BC and AD 750 by the Basketmaker II culture, who transitioned from nomadic hunters to agricultural societies.
The collection includes anthropomorphic figures with shields, topknots, and a rare green-colored bird resembling a quail with a red-brown eye feature.
Visitors reach the site through a 9.6-mile hike along Government Trail from Polly's Island, requiring navigation skills and proper outdoor preparation.
The panel exhibits two green figures, which represent an uncommon color choice in southwestern Native American rock art, alongside a mountain lion depiction.
