Big Bone Effigy! Wowzers!

[dank]

It's been a while since I've been on here but check out this find! Looks to be made from bone. I about lost it when I pick it up and realized what I had found! Looks like he could have held something with his hands, legs have holes like he could have been on a stand? Or maby some moccasins? Any thoughs or information welcomed, approximate age would be appreciated.

Surface find, face down, I'm guessing?

Yeah, at 1st all I could see was the outline and thought that it might have been a plastic toy!

Looks like a miniature from the Chinese Terracotta Army

Looks pretty ancient, maybe bring it to a native American specialist or a museum. Could it be a long lost Indian treasure?

Wicked! I'd love to see that carbon-dated.

 

[Cross Potent]

can you get it carbon dated would be neat to see how old it really is...

Thanks guys, looks ancient to me to but isn't the real older stuf more simple? I'll bring it in and have it looked at when I have some more time. It real heavy, and a big chunk of bone I'm thinking whale bone maby?

I must say that is WILD.
Sure would be cool to find out more about it.

Yeah, that's an awesome find. It actually looks First Nations to me. As a start, I'd take it to a local museum, someone should be able to shed some light and point you in the right direction. What sort of location was it found at? River bed?

Looks like Jesus and the shroud of Turin

Almost looks like a depiction of a conquistador in mace with out helmet. What area was this found? Desoto route?
