Knife Looks Like Side Profile of Human Head

[RichPA]

I got out for three hours today and made a few finds. The knife on the left is really interesting because it looks like a human head. It is 3" long and 1 3/4" wide at the nose tip. The worked edge goes from what appears to be nose tip to the top left corner. The left side is snapped off and 1/2" thick. It is raised where the nostril would be and deep chipped where the eye would be. It even has what appears to be an outline of an ear. I might be looking too far into this piece, what do you think?

it normal for the human mind to try and draw images from the things it sees --its an attempt to make sense of the world around us by squeezing it into known "patterns".

The question might be, did the maker of the knife see what you see?

oh cool item with or without "the image" part of it
