Portable Rock Art - Elephant and Hominin

This worked flint stone from my site has two of the most common motifs found in portable rock art, both in an upright position and both on the same side of the stone. The elephant and front leg glyph can be seen facing right and the hominin head profile motif can be seen near the left edge, center. A very similar looking hominin shape can be seen in this post on Eoliths of a flint tool three times ----> Standing Flint Tool Hominid Face

Flint Tool - Portable Rock Art shows Apes

This flint tool from my finds site has some ape like faces, two of the faces can be seen at each end of the tool, front on, but only showing one side, something noted on a few finds on this blog. The face on the larger edge looks gorilla like and on the smaller edge sub human. The outside larger edge also shows a face profile on both sides of the blade tool. Many retouch flake removal scars can be seen on this piece of portable rock art, the black material is likely tar or resin.

Stone age flint tool shows symbolic hominin face profiles

Yes, you guessed it, another prehistoric flint tool find from my site. This one has a few hominin face profiles, nothing unusual about that, but check out the shadow in the last picture. Another hominid like face profile can be seen, unintentionally captured in the photo. Whether the flint artist created this shadow image on purpose is unclear.

Optical illusions of the paleolithic.

This animation illustrates some subtle complexity in one of my pieces. The sheer genius of this items creator surly can not be ignored in this subtle light and angle metamorphic display. Bidirectional ape face illusions on the reverse of primitive  hominin head profile.
