Sorry TH, that was not the point. What I'm referring to is . Have you studied the difference in the Jesuit's work in the eastern verses western part of the country. Well let me define that more. The coastal regions verses the mountainous regions. They used what they had in both regions. If they had no large stones. Then they used metal, wood, clay, other forms of art work. As far as I'm concerned. I believe it's all works of art. Masterfully done.
Botb ,just because it is a piece of petrified wood doesn't mean a thing. These guys were master stone masons.
This is a piece too. But it has their work on it. So quit trying to solve things you don't understand. You are good at solving some things . This is not one of them.
Bruce, The Jesuit were an order of priest that traveled the world. They were also known as the Society of Jesus. They were very educated. Check them out.
