Eyes without a face.

Perhaps this is a product of one or more materials combined. I discovered this piece a year ago.

I’m really lost on this one. What is meant by, “Eyes without a face”? Are you seeing eyes in this material?

Natural rock.... It is called "pareidolia.:

"Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none."

The Billy Idol, song lyric. But in reverse this has a face and no eyes really.

Thanks for your opinion, do you search for artifacts too.

There was work put into it by the artist, the material is not stone alone touch of hematite. Thanks

 

[ticndig]

oh, well congratulations on your once in a lifetime discovery .

There are over 3000 years of combined experience in collecting and studying Indian artifacts here, sorry, it is just a natural rock and pareidolia.

I know you are very experienced; do you agree that examining a piece in person can sway an opinion. Not a lifetime discovery, thanks

Harsh.

Justfieldreem..

I can see the "eyes" you're referring to, but they were made by nature, not by any human. In short, what you "see" in that rock was factory installed when the rock formed.

I downloaded your images, blew them up and then looked carefully for any signs of being "worked" by a tool. There are no marks, or evidence of a tool mark to be seen.

It's a cool rock, and conversation piece..but that is all.

i can get stoned and walk the beach and find "carvings' by the bucket full.

Great thread. Thanks! Hey OP, we all have a tendency to see from our past when ever we open our eyes.
Keep finding treasure. Every tool or cool looking rock is fun for me. I have had folks look at my "finds" on-line and spout out "just rocks, nothing there" SO many times....I just take it as part of my schooling as I move thru each season of life.

My wife and I both are 'artsy-fartsy' and see lots of cool images in rocks. When we see something we like, we haul it home. (if it is not too heavy) -- The metate pictured below, we leave that one there, it's kinda heavy!
I have to tell you, half the time, I do not "see" what my wife sees in her finds...and vice versa.
Each eye will find its own goodies.

Also appreciate learning about the "word" for when we "see" something. -- thanks Mr. Treasure Hunter.

I like your perspective. We get a kick out of posts sometimes. I tend to forget that I had a decent level of pareidolia when I started too. I found 4 scrapers, a few points and a lot of hammer stones on my first try! After posting, I discovered I was full of the proverbial bologna. They were all just rocks. I agree, if you like a rock, for whatever reason, keep it. I have a pile of them in my rock garden. Thanks!

I appreciate your due diligence with the picture. The only thing you have not done is examine it in person, that makes all of the difference. I could be wrong there were other techniques used to make art or trade pieces that are perhaps lost now.
