Figure Stones in Italy

Figure on Left:  Genoa, putatively 200,000 years BP

Characteristic features:  Janus-like image with anthropomorphic face looking in one direction, more bird-like face looking in the other.  This motif is common both in European Paleolithic material and in hundreds of figures at Day's Knob, like the figure on the right.
