The Cobbler, a detail of the Bronze Age petroglyphs at Cobbler's Cliff in Backa Petroglyph Area Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Cobbler (Skomakaren), a detail of the Bronze Age (1700–500 BC) petroglyphs at Cobbler's Cliff (Skomakarhällen) in Backa Petroglyph Area (or Backa Rock Carvings) Brastad, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden. The figure is most likely a representation of the Weather God, a predecessor to Thor, but has been given the name "The Cobbler" after the shape of the hammer he is holding. The figure is 1.60 meters high and one of about 600 images in 32 areas along what is called the Via Sacria "The Holy Road", an ancient road through an area that most probably was a religious center. The figure is carved on a almost horizontal part of a curved cliff. Because of its size and placing, this photo is made in panorama technique from several images to get a picture of the figure without any distorted proportions.

This is a picture of an archaeological site or a monument in Sweden, number Brastad 1:1 in the RAÄ Fornsök database.

 This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Some birch seeds and the occasional pine needle have been cloned out, only from the red areas though.

NOTE: This image is a panorama consisting of multiple frames that were merged or stitched in software. As a result, this image necessarily underwent some form of digital manipulation. These manipulations may include blending, blurring, cloning, and colour and perspective adjustments. As a result of these adjustments, the image content may be slightly different from reality at the points where multiple images were combined. This manipulation is often required due to lens, perspective, and parallax distortions.
