The edge of the stone here is not used for scraping but for "artwork". I hope I can convey somewhat with this profile how 2 heads are interlocked- the mouth of the top one being used for the eye of the lower one. The mouth has been chipped off, it's a tiny chip. The rest of the profile is done with very little cuts.
When you've seen it once you can see it on many stones.
This use of the edges of a stone is seen repeatedly and in very creative ways.
Jean-Paul and other figure stones. Unusual man made images on stones, mostly 3/4 profiles and birds, in Coyote Springs, Prescott Valley, Yavapai County, Arizona. Some call them figure stones. www.frencharizonan@yahoo.com
