Hey Tony,,

The first item is strange,,, don't you think?
Showing a VOLCANO on one side and what looks POLYNESIAN "face" on the other.

Seriously bewildered on that piece for sure.

They were in a field that I was helping a friend plow. Found the one with the face first. Looked like a rock at first because of the dirt. But when I wiped it off and seen it I looked back in the same spot and found the one that looks like a pipe. I had to dig it out a little. They look like they have some kind ok wrighting on them but not sure what they are and would love to find out.

The volcano could also be seen as a tepee and the shape is reminiscent of a warriors war shield.

Ok...
I remained quite on this one in hopes someone with more knowledge on NAIA would solve it pretty quick...
Obviously this has not been the case...
I will start with the piece on the right... which as mentioned in earlier posts... is a pipe head.
I checked in some reference books and did not come up with anything for the other piece...
NOR do I have any knowledge of "where" or what they are from...
It could be a lot of things.
But most of all...
It is strange.

AND... very cool.
