I didn't say that rock art was figurative just that my piece had a figurative element upon it. 'Natural erosion'. The other figurative rock art that I can recall is the foot on the stone in the Liverpool park. I think there are other examples too. Under the Passage Grave Art heading.

Poof Farm cist cover and the Cochno Stone , now under a metre of earth , also have footprints . More common in Scandnavia . In some cultures the foot represents the sun .And there are also the various mace heads , daggers found in , usually , funerary contexts .

Thanks for that - I have a vulva! The Rock Art fraternity aren't interested. Remembering the Viz schoolboy edition I'd suggest it represented a young teenage person's. I think I'd have better luck promoting that fragment of a spiral built into the Manchester suburban garden wall ... At least he did come to look at it - though it took four years (4yrs.) of arranging to get him up the hill to it. (I think a few of the north France covered monuments have feet carvings too).
