Found in a West Virginia coal mine 30 years ago. 13.5" long. The head looks Kalinga to me, but your guess is as good as mine as to what this is. I have never seen anything like it.
Some kind of spear head. Comments sought. |

It could be a family urban legend. Maybe her father was joking, but he was a coal miner in West Virginia. From the avatar you can now see why I was wearing sunglasses with the helmet! ![]() It is actually the ball part of the leg / hip joint. Tibetan monk, possibly Nepalese. I showed it to my chiropracter, who confirmed that it was from a human being. |
