Sandstone, 2 cm
(0.8") diameter, 0.5 cm (0.2") thickness, a well-known
motif in artifacts worldwide. This was dislodged by the author's posterior during an
unscheduled slide down the steep and eroding east side of the hill (technique from Indiana Jones School of Archaeology).
Note the classic mouth in the form of a bird (facing right), the
face (sun?) in the distinctly circumscribed center circle, and the
typical small figure emerg- ing (right) from the mouth of the
center face.
Below, the reverse
side, imagery less obvious but very likely the classic bifrontal
figure. Below this, the edge of the disk. |
