PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY

It looks like a fish's face...with that last orientation.

Why don't you simply contact a museum with recognised expertise in Mayan art? Then you'll know... although I fully expect that you won't believe if they say it's just a rock.

I could probably get a little better image clarity on the zoom in... I was in a rush to get the image uploaded... I'm grateful That I'm getting any exposure, even the negative comments that I have not read, are greatly appreciated... PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I COME OFF LIKE A JERK... I probably have been. I've got others I'm working on... The art of the mayans is difficult to comprehend visually since it is so organic... very few straight lines... But the face is unmistakeable... I just need to find an EXACT image frmo one of the codeices but there are only 4 or so and it's a possibility that this images background and setting are unique and not in any recorded document... possibly on a wall, stelae, or lintel... I will keep looking.

No, won't, pretty sure you are.

With all the lines and fractures in that rock you can see almost anything you want to see if you try hard enough. It's an interesting rock, but just a rock.

Imagination run wild. Sorry it is a leave a right.

Ok ..ok... I was asked to settle the dispute...

So...

Yep... it is a Mayan bowling ball.

Obviously the owner carved a picture of his wife in it... which gave him more strength when hurling towards the pins.

I also see evidence of it being used for soccer... its the "Toe prints" that suggest that.

And... one cannot discount the other markings which point to the other uses... such as... a bed pillow... a fishing weight... a hair comb... and a salt lick for cattle.

But really ... I think it was mostly used for Tetherball.. and possibly golf.

welcome ARC, been chuming for days and finally you rose
nice, we all knew it was more than just a rock

Dude... no.

I think i can see it. Are there any kind of tool marks notable?

AHH YESS ! ! !

I see tool marks ! ! !

So... this means it was also used as a tool belt and tool chest as well.

Well yes, this could be something (even though i do not belive it is) or it could be just another rock. There is no way anyone could tell from few not very high quality pictures, unless you are psychic, right?

Non the less, if ithere is a reason to assume it was man made (not only due to its alledge image) it deserves a professional oppinion by phisical observation.

The Pictures are self-explanatory...

A rock. Thanks for sharing.

So the rocks appear fake. Like ceramic for the top one and a salt mixed into something like white playdough in the second. Then it is molded over some cement in the middle of the other image.The prints also do not appear authentic to me, the red on the side shows edges for modern printing techniques and the pure black is just photocopy ink. Not to mention the non standard designs, they are just fake and I could do a much better job as an artist.

Respectfully, I see nothing at all that could be fake about the rock
itself. It's a milky quartz conglomerate of some type, and in the top
images it is backlit.

People may not see in it what GW does, but the rock ain't fake.

Completely agree.
