The Vitlycke panel is one of the most famous rock carvings in the world, with nearly 300 figures of which c. 170 cup marks. The figurative content of the carving is exceptional with many unique motifs and scenes. Outstanding are the so called "bridal couple", with a huge phallic human figure raising an axe over their heads. There are more examples of bridal couples at Vitlycke, sometimes onboard a ship. Other special and interesting images are the adorant in front of a huge snake, the "devil-like" human figure in a chariot, and above all the kneeling female figure beside a tall man lying down. There is a very big ship with crew-strokes and with the frame visible. Half the number of cup marks are arranged in a row, and there are men fighting on both sides of the cup mark border-line. There are a large number of ship figures of different size, some double-lined with or without crew-strokes. Some of the ship figures have x-shaped frame strokes. There are a number of warriors, of which some have a circle shaped body, possibly a shield and equipped with axe and sword. There is a large phallic human figure with a sword and the arm bent, followed by a procession of smaller human figures. One human figure is phallic, has a beak-shaped head or mask, and with a huge vertical spear or extended arms.

The rock carvings of Southern Scandinavia are generally dated to the middle and later part of the Bronze Age, c. 1500-500 BC. Occasionally, more absolute dating of single panels or figures can be made, based on typological or stylistic features of the image, and by comparisons with identifiable objects.
