That's called Bas Relief. It's a well-known stone carving technique, but nobody's seen anything like that before. It's new to rock art and, perhaps, is only half made.

Well I know I've not. It's an interesting one.

And whilst it might be rock art,in the broadest, time-independant sense, there's nowt to indicate it's prehistoric.

ps, Where you been hiding?

How about Rabbit Rock Art ?

The eye looks like it's been ground down to make a little hollow and the outline is a groove running all round it - obviously it could be my optimistic side, but I like to think I have a one-off prehistoric Rembrandt in my hand :)
