  • carved face efigy

    Here is a face efigy that my uncle found in Ohio in a plowed field. It is about the size of a quarter, maybe little bigger. I would take better pictures of it if I had it but my uncle has it with him in Ohio. Very interesting artifact.

    That's a really fine artifact Eagle - no guessing about that one! The red color was probably carefully chosen by the artist.

      Is it clay or stone?

        Here's a Hopewell piece that also has an open mouth.

          Very nice, and a real effigy! Thanks for sharing. Is it complete or was it part of a larger piece? I'm guessing it's all there...

                Awesome and exceedingly rare! Don't see an actual effigy everyday.
