#0141
| This implement in the form of a
somewhat anthropomorphic bird nicely displays the characteristic carving marks.
It is one of several pieces microscopically exam- ined by rock
art expert Dr.
Arsen Faradzhev during a site visit in April 2005
and determined
to be the product of human workmanship. Below, a close-up
of the incisions: |
| Below: The implement
shown refitted to the limestone parent rock from which it appears
to have been carved; the upper part of the rock itself seems to
bear a bird image facing left. |
| Below: The carved cavity
in the rock, minus the implement. |
