Hi, everyone! This is a pet wood which I polished a while ago, but it was only today when I turned it and look what I spotted: To me it looks like a profile of an Egyptian Pharaon, or maybe the Sphinx. Am I wrong? Thank you for looking, Adrian

Adrian!!! sup fella! man you know I always see the same things you do.. ! lol.. In that first pic .. looks like a skull.. and the second pic I see two sets of lions..in a desert storm the one on the outside is like a shadow of the smaller one.. and that looks like a normal lion.. but the one on the inside looks half man and half lion. with a skeleton jaw and his hair is blowing..
ok.. now.. wonder what my therapist would say about that.. lol..
Gorgeous Rock Adrian..

I'm pretty sure it's the Virgin Mary. You should list it on eBay for 3 gazillion dollars!

I'm kinda like 88. I see a nicely polished burl. ;D
No imagination whatsoever Curt.

I see a demon head (those gargoyley things) faded on the left side of the second pic and then the pharohey-baboone darker on the right)
I think it's overimagination time!

First pic I definitely see skull; second I see a left-facing face with white hair and beard. But, the hair is blowing right while the beard is blowing left.

Wow, what a wide beach of visions, from the simple burl to the complex picture that Roxy describes (Roxy, you better don't mention your vision to your therapist )! Thank you, Adrian

Hey Adrian.. take another look at the top one.. see that dude peeking around the corner just off to the right side next to that skull that's looking down? .. yeah.. well after this I'm thinking ..maybe you're right.. I better not go see him.. or they'd lock me away for sure huh.. . lol..

Hmmm, I see different things depending on how I move around my screen. I can kind of see a pharaoh but if I move a little to the right, it is a lion...then I see a buffalo in a storm... No matter what, it is a beautiful piece! Fran

What's stunning in my eyes is how *much* it still looks like wood! The colour, the grain and the rings. I've never seen such a piece! Mind you, I've not seen much petrified wood either!!

Adrain I saw the sphinx before I read what you wrote so I'm with you. Its not really a burl or there would be a lot of eyes. Interesting pattern though.
