More than 90% of the stone statues on the Eurasian grasslands have stylized deer patterns, so they are called deer stones. In addition, some deer stones are also engraved with other animal patterns, weapon patterns, and decorative patterns such as dots, rings, and belts. This paper tries to explain the phenomenon of deer worship from the perspective of shamanism and animism on the basis of summarizing the patterns of stylized deer stone statues, and explains the related religious activities and totem worship. The purpose is to further study the phenomenon of deer worship.
