the execution?

larson1951 · Feb 21, 2011

found this many years ago
must have been run over by a tractor many times so most of it is missing
looks like someone with his arms up in the air and a bow and arrow drawn and pointed at him ready to shoot him

what do you think??

LOL, whatever story it's telling, it can't be all that bad as the person appears to have a smile on their face. :wink:

Cool Find!

hey treefog,
thanks, it looks like a piece of a scapula,
it is for sure bone (i think)

you are right felinepeachy,
it kinda does look like a smile

i would like to mention that i've seen other etchings of faces and they have a few things in common,
one of them is that they all seem to have kind of a smile,
in addition, no nose

Lots of possibilities!!!!

here is another face etched on a warrior stick
i posted this to illustrate the point i was trying to make about none of the faces i have ever seen around this area have noses
i can't figure out why they wouldn't put a nose on these etchings of faces

any ideas

thanks,

Maybe they are depictions of Aliens. lol

I wonder if the first one might depict a capture instead of an execution?

Very cool pieces Steve. Has the snow melted enough for you to get into the fields yet? I bet there would be a lot of stuff laying around from the winter freeze and thaw. Can't wait to see what you will be finding.
