Some anons with knowledge of archeological artifacts here?
That maybe are able to determine an artifact on the basis of a description?
Do you mean;
Dont say. Now isn't the time.
Or do you mean:
Dont say now isn't the time…
In both cases can you explain me a bit more of what you mean?
Found a little stone in the perfect shape of a donkey in my wood stove after burning some oak-wood.
Little hole in the center of the donkey.
Looks kind 'a old.
The hole in the donkey and as it has been supposedly in the wood is assuming that it was nailed on an oak someday in history.
It's small, around 7 x 6 cm.
State is kind of perfect and the material looks like some kind of basalt.
The symmetrics are also remarkable.
It's definitely no fossilized wood. It's a artifact made out of stone and due to it's symmetric shape it's obviously (for how far things are obviously these days) made by a human being.
It's stone. But what is weird is that the stone has these very small holes in it, making it look very old.
At the other hand, it does have the perfect symmetrical form of a donkey almost like it's made by a machine…
I believe it must have been inside the wood. So one day someone nailed this artifact on an oak. The oak growed around the artifact so the artifact kept hidden in the oak.
Yesterday i burned this piece of wood of the oak and the artifact was found in my wood stove.
That seems one or another the only reason right now for me how it got in my wood stove…
The donkey-artifact also has a little hole (size of a nail-hole) in his precious center.
I'm not anon. Why should i be bullshitting about this particular object/subject anyway?
The donkey was found in Europe. Eastern Netherlands. Donkeys and signs or artifacts that represents them are uncommon in this region right now and also were in the latest history.
However i am not very sure where the oak exactly came from.
