A Strange Icon

A Paiute friend called me up, wanting to show me a petroglyph that he found, but didn’t recognize. After seeing it, I must admit that I’ve never seen such an image before.

Despite having a camera-phone and a regular camera between us, neither one would work. Both were drained of their battery power even before we tried taking pictures.

Finally, I made a rough sketch of it. Have you ever seen this image, is it Paiute, Shoshone or from another tribe, and/or do you have any idea what it might represent or mean?
