Genuine examples of rock art have been popping up in Orkney in the past few years ,almost all due to excavation as the marked rocks in Orkney don't tend to be in the open air . The particular type of markings that are similar to those on the stone tend to be found in some burial contexts and in Skara Brae . It's not standard practice for archaelogists to do plaster casts of such markings these days . Some saddo might want to buy it , but who would be that daft ?
