The Engraved Images on a Plate of the Turkic Enclosure in the Complex Godon-Gol-V (Mongolian Altai)
The article considers the engraved images recorded during the inspection of the Godon-Gol-V complex. This site is located in Ulankhus somoni of the Bayan- Ulgiy aimag of Mongolia. The group of objects considered in the article is presented by three stone enclosures arranged on the line north — south at a small distance from each other. We discovered images of a deer and a predator (a leopard?) on one of the slate plates of the middle enclosure. The drawings were made with quite deep carved lines. The analysis of the scene and the given analogies allows making a conclusion about synchronism of a ritual construction and the engraved images. Authentically transferred proportions of figures, a certain dynamism of the scene, technology of drawing petroglyphs and degree of a patinization of the engraved lines are characteristic for the drawings of the Turkic time. Skillfully made scene on the plate of the enclosure in the Godon-Gol-V complex, undoubtedly, could be referred to the masterpieces of early medieval art which filled up our ideas of the graphic creativity of the population in region under consideration.
