Is that a shield with a cross? Maybe my imagination.
Why would he be smiling?

 

[larson1951]

I think it is a bow with an arrow drawn and ready to shoot
I don't know if it is a smile, you would not think he would be smiling
I have a few other pieces of artwork and they all kinda look like they are smiling
non of the faces ever have a nose either which I think is kinda weird

thanks kentucky, do you have any more thoughts?
I appreciate your interest

What looks like a shield and cross is held by the guy with his hands up.
I'm sure you've looked around for more pieces of the picture. ?

 

[larson1951]

OK I see what you mean about the shield
I don't know
did they have shields?

I don't know if I will ever find any more of it
I wish I could find the rest of it

thanks again for your opinions

Shields with crosses? Maybe depicting a scene with some over seas visitors?

In some parts of the world they had shields with crosses. Point is, who is it depicting?

Larson,
Very interesting piece. Is the image(s) etched or pigmented (or both)? Have any of the ivory tower academicians rendered an opinion? What a find!

I wonder if the cross has to do with post contact rejection to the spread of Christianity.
