Help identifying a deer-like deity

[Tomtegubbe]

I came across this very powerful chanting on YouTube. I wonder is this figure depicted on the album cover a version of some known and named deity? Any ideas of mythic figures with deer like appearance is appreciated!

Link to the music:

Here is the image.

I don't know, but in the Huichol peyotl/hikuri hunting rites, the cactus is thought of symbolically as a deer, from what I've read.

Not sure about deer, but that image looks like an artistic reworking of the 'Raimondi Stele' from Chavin de Huantar aka 'The Staff God', with some of the dual faces that are seen if its turned upside down.

There are a lot of entities there. I see what you mean with the deer, but it kind of looks like a bovine, rather than a deer to my eyes. And even turned upside down it looks like a bovine as well. Then there are 3 or 4 more entities I find when I continue to look. There is a lot to unpack there. I'm sorry I do not have any ability to help in your quest for identification, but that was just my take on it.

Yes! Thank you. This was a great tip.

The steele has more bovine like figure indeed. Maybe the image is supposed to be one where you can see several features.
