🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Carved boulder or just another rock?

[Copper Frog]

I recently came across this boulder while exploring in central AZ. Does this boulder (pic 1) look manipulated? If so, what do you see?

The main boulder, about 5ft tall, has a support stone (pic 2) leaning into it from behind. The support stone and main boulder form a perfectly nested 90 degree corner. There is also a small balance rock (pic 3) to level the support stone. The construction of this small boulder pile appears to me, to be man-made, rather than a natural tumble of rocks. The hillside I was clambering over is devoid of similarly sized boulders.

What does the community think?

Can you provide some reference for how large it is? 5" tall...10'?

The first picture does look like a human head, facing to the left. I’d guess pareidolia. Maybe different photo angles would help.

Spent 5 hrs. last night on the road in heavy rain and traffic to pick my wife up at the airport. Must have overtaxed my brain... I read that post a couple times and missed it completely...

Does the small support stone underneath the rock not strike you as strange?

No, I have travel all over the west, seen so many balanced rocks, especially in Utah.
