Prehistoric Artwork of Ancient Faces - Figure Stone

This was just a chance find but none the less an interesting figure stone and fine prehistoric artwork. Some very interesting face images can be seen with supporting details. Images appear to be of sub human, ape or hybrid forms. One face which only appears very briefly is actually of a well known and documented motif.

Prehistoric Micro Artwork Holds Superb Ape Images.

 Another prehistoric flint artwork find from my usual hunting grounds showing some stunning imagery, but this sculpture is only about one and a half inches across its longest dimensions, possibly suggesting that  very small people made and used it.  Study the three animations very carefully.

More evidence of pigment? in petrefied and worked eye shape on stone age flint tool.

 A very clear and detailed eye shape can be seen on this stone age flint tool, the color detail is embedded into the stone as though pigment has become fossilized into the patina or natural inclusions in the flint are being observed. Evidence would lead us to rule out the latter with this flint tool with more obviously artistic pigment usage. Other examples of clear and possibly petrified pigment usage displaying clear and detailed eye shapes can be seen:- Prehistoric clothing and Crocodile rock.

 Above: note the hair line ridges that make good eye lash and eye brow features.

 Above: The curve of the blade, hair line features can be observed, these are often found on my finds and other figure stone finds, and are the result of an unknown technique.

Indian Rocks, Stone Face Effigies, Figure Stones and Prehistoric Art - Independent Acheological Research

The marvelous thing about scientific phenomena is that it can be re-tested and observed by independent researchers. Observations can be recorded and theories and conclusions can be drawn by any who care to investigate. People can also stumble upon a phenomena quite by chance.

At the start of my own investigation into my figurative flint tool discoveries, my independent conclusions were verified by the finds and study of others who proceeded me such as Ursel Benekendorff.

Introducing Tim Banninger another independent investigator who fell down the same rabbit hole many of us find ourselves in after realization of these artworks and there antiquity.

Tim had collected many stones he realized as worked before discovering there were faces carved into the stones.
