Rock carvings of Fennoscandia

Postcard ID: RU-2710388
Country: Russia

Such an interesting card I received from Russia. To be honest I didn't heard about Petroglyph and Fennoscandia before. yes, I' ve known about rock carvings, but the work Petroglyph I saw first time on this card :)

Petroglyphs are pictogram and logogram images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as "carving", "engraving", or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petro-, theme of the word "petra" meaning "stone", and glyphein meaning "to carve", and was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe.

Fennoscandia or Fenno-Scandinavia is the region comprising the Scandinavian Peninsula, Finland, Karelia, and the Kola Peninsula.

Also I found a site of artist that created a picture for the card. You can check other works here.
