May the "Mandan" Spirit be with you.

Found a few last evening and this morning. Some KRF, Petrified Wood, chert and I think a Rainy Buttes scrape.

The real spooky thing is that it's deep - and 3D. When you hold it at different angles, you see other features and the eyes are always looking right at you.

That is the coolest thing that I have ever seen! Do you think that their is any way that they could have looked at the piece of stone before it was worked, and planed the shadow like figure? If so, what a genius. Well, what a genius any way, to survive T Totally on natural elements. Just to think, when most people are asked about art, the Mona Lisa comes to mind. That scraper is true art. Nice nice find. Keep em coming !!

I doubt that who ever made it did realize that the shadow figure was there. It's just one of those wierd "natural" things and I just happened to get a photo at an angle that made it appear.
When I picked this piece up it was very dirty and only kept it because it was a piece of clear petrified wood. When I got it home cleaned it and looked at it closely I saw that it actually was a scraper. I didn't notice the shadow until I snapped the photo trying to show how translucent it is.

i agree kelly, i don't think the maker saw it either, just a piece of PW
never the less it's cool man...and a great conversation piece

kinda funny how it is easier to see when you back away from the screen about 5 feet


now in your 2nd post of images
image#3 appears to be gazing intently (with slight anger) at the face in image #4

the person in #3 is thinking "just cuz i'm whistling now you gotta whistle too?"....."Copy Cat!!"

I agree it look's natural, the maker prob. didn't notice it when he made the piece. I have to agree that is a very unusual piece.

That is the spirit just making his presence known. A reminder of sorts. I'm glad that the creator of this piece and all of them were able to leave their mark on this earth. May they, in death, get the respect that they should have had in life.

He is staring right at me.... It's late goodnight

remember right after you found that baby?
we were holding every agate and PW piece that we found up to the light and sometimes seeing something

you are right we don't think the maker saw that

just a little good clean fun right my friend?
