Title: ANOTHER LEAD FACE Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on September 17, 2009, 12:06:13 PM Hi all
My good friend and fellow Rare member Ray Coburn brought this lead Face in to show us in the club.I thought id better take a few pics to show some of our more learned members ;0) It was found roughly 4 years ago and Described by Mark Lodwich as an anthropomorphic Face. Im not sure of the age it was giving .any idea Ray ?? That i can gather Anthropomorphic means its got some animal characteristics it reminds me of the statues on Easter island very pagan looking Well Winkled Ray !
