The human and quasi-human images above were carved into the abraded area of this typically bird-form sandstone.  The flat surface shown above forms the base for a two-faced zoo-anthropo- morphic figure (below) when the object is rotated toward the viewer.  Note the common theme of two faces sharing one eye.
