Yes, Graham, a unique meteorite, and whoever cut it took full advantage of the shape of a deep scoop.

An excellent slice of a smiling Gibeon! Great Etch and size Anne. This must have come from a uniquely shaped Meteorite?

... or, in completion, the upper part of Munch's shouting abyss. Says more about us than the Gibeon ; - )

What a wonderful excentric shape. A Boomerang. A cut, polished and etched fragment of an ancient greek maeander-pattern. An iron-surrounded bay, void, invading matter, both creating shape. Outstandning. Merci, Mme. Anne.

Incredible slice gives a feel for the mysterious, quintessential concavities carved into the surfaces of so many beautiful Gibeon individuals! Thanks Anne!
