천전리 암각화 동물형상의 도상학적 의미와 양상

Abstract

Cheonjeon-ni petroglyph is the second largest and significant figures in the South Korean bronge age. My research is focused on the analysis of animal figures such as deer, animals with long main body it has carved in the rock. These are typical subjects of prehistoric art to which the majority of richness and production are symbolized by the deer shape. A technique feature used the shallow intaglio of the outline and the main body repeatedly poking a small point. The iconic representation is shape that the female is opposite to the male though it crowds on the way. It is constant for the leg, horn antler, and the body straight line though cultivated feature expressed a main body long in which the corner and the leg are contained in minute length. The ages are earlier than Daegok-ni petroglyph they though it doesn't excel rock art in the technical side. Cheonjeon-ni zoomorphic can be compared with the petroglyph of Central Asia. It looks like the deer shape such as Minusinsk of the rock painting in Russia, and zoomorphic Mongolian northwest part Altai region and the Herbisna of Tuva Autonomous Republic. Therefore, a motif the Cheonjeon-ni zoomorphic petroglyph was able to be established though came from Siberia, Mongolia, and north China, etc. by the change to South Korea.
