Janus Stone

I think of this stone as the Janus Stone because it has two distinct faces with one looking to the left and the other straight forward. The right side is flat. I think of it as a bird, but it also has human and reptilian qualities.

According to ancient Roman myth, Janus was the god of beginnings and transitions--of gates, doors and doorways, passages and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces because he looks both to the past and the future.

Its glassy eye looks a bit like one featured in a March 20, 2015 article "Left eye missing face mask on a cobble from Texas has glassy right eye" on the Archaeology of Portable Rock Art website.
