beskrivelse:

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.
