There was pretty much no way I could leave this behind once I had seen it

Beautiful Vintage Nazca Lines Incised Stone early staffordshire There was pretty much noQuite a good one to add to the curated rock pile or set on the desk or carry around in one's pocket. I believe the incised eight legged creature is based on ancient Nazca Lines a group of geoglyphs created between 500 BC and 500 AD in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. This came from the estate of a collector who travelled extensively in Central and South America and I'm guessing picked it up as a souvenir of sorts somewhere not ancient,
