| Rock engravings with masks and spirits of people with Food Producing economy. Resembling masks have been produced in wood for cult and evocative performances by coastal tribes until a few generations ago. Their tradition is partially persisting. Similar masks are depicted in the rock art of northern China and eastern Siberia. Those have been connected to pottery decorated with masks figures belonging to a Neolithic culture of 7000 to 5000 years ago. | Anthropomorph
