Bradshaw petroglyghs in Northwestern Australia

https://www.bradshawfoundation.com/bradshaws/bradshaw_paintings.php

Scientists have been unable to date most glyphs. The original pigments have deteriorated and become part of the stone canvas. Scientists dated a fossilized mud-wasp nest, which scientists had removed from a glyph. It provided a date of more than 17,000 years old.


The second picture from the right in the top row

has nine figures. The difference in size has the appearance of depth.

Snakes

Cultures around the world have worshiped snakes before the dawn of history as a supernatural power and as a symbol of knowledge. They have affected human thinking more than any other animal, both venerated and feared for millennia. Snakes have represented life force, spiritual renewal, phallicism, fertility, procreation, immortality, health, longevity, wisdom, and power. People have associated snakes with water, rain, lightning, and the underworld. The ability to shed its skin makes it appear immortal. The power to kill gives it the power to heal. A snake’s constant motion has represented spiritual renewal.

Kokopelli: The Magic, Mirth, and Mischief of an Ancient Symbol
By Dennis Slifer pg 111


The Taino did not worship snakes, a near as I can tell. However, one of their cave figures looks very much like Kokopelli

To tell you the truth you know, this is glow n the dark. You wipe it here for the hike or the good night camping! Mostly for the HiKE though.
