6” X 4” X 1/2” petroglyph rock art featuring two anthropomorphic (human-like) figures holding hands, with an arc above them and a line below etched into the stone.
Petroglyphs are found worldwide and are often associated with prehistoric cultures, like the Hohokam people in the American Southwest, who created numerous petroglyphs in areas such as Saguaro National Park.
These images were typically made by pecking, incising, or abrading the rock surface to expose lighter stone beneath the darker outer layer, known as desert varnish or patina.
The exact meanings of many petroglyphs are unknown, but they are believed to have held cultural, religious, or ceremonial significance, potentially depicting stories, marking important places, or representing symbols.
This could be a replica, a homemade art project, or something found and mounted on two clothes pins, use as a nice accent decor piece for Southwest decorated home or space. Or if you’re a teacher of history of the American Southwest this could be a good visual. Also nice paperweight.
