You are bidding on a real rock art displaying Petroglyphs (Peh-truh-GLIFS). Petroglyphs are also called pictograms, carved rock, rock art, picture writing and rock graphics that often tell stories of native people, rituals, animals, birds, reptiles or insects. Most rock art were pecked, incised, scratched, chiseled, chipped or cut into stones, Limestone & Sandstone bluffs, walls or large or small flat rocks with stone tools made of harder or denser rocks like flint-rock, or by using animal horns & bones, or by using early crude metal tools such as railroad nails, nails or small axe. Other rock art were painted with wild berries, grass, mud or black ash from burnt firewood, or they used white limestone, red/brown/orange ore-stones to paint icons on cliff/cave walls, animal skins, or terracotta (clay/dirt/mud) pots. My Native family, friends and I have been rock hunting for over thirty years and I am about to retire and I'm going to part with some of my collection pieces on eBay. We've lived in the Southwest w many Native tribes lived and roamed many States. Most all tribes carved or painted Petroglyphs of some type or another by men, women or children to pass time, record rituals, tell or repeat stories or display animals or scenes in nature. Over the years we've walked over many mountain/hill tops close to and along rivers on our weekend fishing, hunting or outings to find arrowheads and other artifacts. Some Native American tribes lived on top of mountains & hill tops close to rivers to keep away from dangerous animals, enemies, have water to drink, cook, wash clothes, catch animals or fish for food so, Mountain/hill tops close to rivers and river banks are one the best areas to search for artifacts. Most of the rock art we've found were along a river's edge or banks beneath high cliffs & caves and most were under water during the wet season. Over many years rain storms with powerful running water loosen the dry rocks that each year are exposed to extreme heat during the Summer months, then eventually the rain water breaks off the rocks from the walls and they fall down onto the river beds breaking into pieces, while others fall into the rivers water during the wet seasons exposing them in the dry river beds in the Summer months. None of my rock art collections were ever found in any State or Federal Parks nor from any Native American Reservation as those areas are prohibited and protected by Law as they should be to protect the Native American culture and history.
STORE OWNERS! This Rock Art piece could sell easily for $500 or more displayed on a nice stand in your Mall, Strip-Mall Stores or Flea-Market table. I had one gentleman bid and win one of my rock art collection pieces and he turned around and sold it in Germany to a private collector for over $3,000. Age: Approx. 200+ years. Description : Authentic Native American rock art and a broken piece from a larger rock art. This Sandstone rock art was etched using flint-rock or crude tools. This unique rock art displays what appears to be a drawing of a Native American Chief (denoted by multiple feathers drawn above head) with right arm broken off and left arm extended downwards towards another drawing of an animal, perhaps a wild boar (denoted by tusks on snout). This appears to be a story of a Native American hunt. Native Americans often etched, carved and painted art drawings of stories on rocks or wood of their rituals and life often using themselves, geometric symbols, undecipherable figures, other people, animals, reptiles, birds, insects and plants in Petroglyph art. Dimensions : 5. i nches. wide x 3.0 in. High x .85 in. thick. Possible Ethnicity : Southwestern Plains Native Americans; Seminole, Tonkawa Lipan-Apache, Comanche, Kiowa or Shoshone Indians .
