The petroglyphs near Zhambyl Village, located at coordinates N 49º14′47.66″, E 86º18′21.36″ at an elevation of 1030 meters above sea level, were recorded by early researchers on the northern outskirts of the village, in the Katon-Karagay District of East Kazakhstan Region. They are situated near two large burial mounds belonging to the Zhambyl I burial complex.

These petroglyphs, dated to the Scytho-Saka period, are carved into outcrops of coarse-grained rock. However, their state of preservation has significantly deteriorated due to the roughness of the stone surface (Figure 1). Among the images, notable are depictions of deer with massive, backward-curving branched antlers and openwork bodies, sometimes adorned with volute-like motifs. Also present are representations of mountain goats rendered in the Scytho-Siberian animal style.
