Figure Stones in Italy

Figure Stones in Italy

Figure on Left: Genoa, putatively 200,000 years BP

Characteristic features: A Janus-like image with quasi-anthropomorphic face looking in one direction, more bird-like image looking in the other. This motif is common both in European Paleolithic material and in hundreds of figures at Day's Knob (33GU218), like the figure on the right.

Apparent characteristic features: Creature emerging from the mouth, one eye open and other eye closed, figures over the forehead (here descending and turning over the left eye).
