Zenith-Seeking Face, Stone 26b West Kennet Avenue - April 2022           

An Explanatory Graphic Appears Below The Main Photograph - Please Scroll Down To View

 

I can see two distinct zenith-seeking faces on this stone. They are based around two different eye slots, but share other features (here the chin and main outline), so may be considered recursive faces (click here and scroll down to point 12 for my definition of this term). On the triptych below the zenith-seeker on Panel 2 looks like a highly stylised human face, but the seeker on Panel 3 looks destinctly like a beast or deity.
