The article publishes the research materials of the complex discovered in the Sandyktau Mountains in 2024. The monument consists of two objects - a stone stele with a petroglyph and a granite outcrop, on the vertical wall of which there is a relief image of a human face. In the study of the face and the stele, the method of traceology was used. A wide range of historical and comparative analysis made it possible to compare the object under study with complexes already known in science. The stele has traces of hewing along the edges. The image is carved in the upper part and is a schematic figure of a deer with two long horns extending beyond the body. The relief of a human face is carefully worked out, all the details are clearly visible - large eyes, a long straight nose, lips. The frontal part is beveled. Unambiguous conclusions about the chronology can only be made in relation to the stele, which, by analogy in the monuments of the Bronze Age, is dated to the 2nd millennium BC. The question of their relationship with the relief and the chronology of the latter remains open.
