Subjectivity in Stone Age art works such as figure stones, engravings, sculptures, effigies and curated manuports. See how images and icons have been realized in portable rock media since the dawn of humanity. Here, archaeologists and art historians are becoming aware of these forsaken artifacts. “And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in every thing." -in W. Shakespeare, As You Like It, 1599.

A standing bird figure stone in flint from Licking County, Ohio
Ken Johnston find, Licking County, Ohio. 9cm, Vanport chert
The bird balances delicately on a worked tripod base on a flat surface. Found in an area which has produced several flint bird and bird head figures already featured on this blog.
