Face Carving
Posted in Antiques on 11/20/2009 01:12 am by adminHow would I find out if the piece I have is a primitive wood carving?
I recently found a piece of wood at the lake. It looks more like a primitive carving than driftwood. It is not as hard as stone, yet it is hard and heavy. It has the appearance of a face (quite distinctly). When looked at from differant angles it has differant appearances. It also has both female and male definition. It is not your typical piece of driftwood and gives one the feeling that in times past it might have been a "special" or "spiritual piece". Would love to know how to identify its origin.
Send pictures of it (several angles and close-ups of high quality) to the nearest anthropology or archaelogy department in a major university or college.
