[BCMA] Help needed with info on rock carving/statue

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hi there!

 

We have had a recent donation of a rock carving/statue that was found on
Gordon's Beach here on the island. I am wondering if anyone knows any
information or can give context to this object? It looks like it has been
carved from one piece of stone, but it has suffered some damages. The two
pieces can be 'put together' and it looks as though there are just smaller
rock fragments that are missing. It also looks as though the figure is in a
crouching or kneeling position with it's arms in a specific formation. Any
information would be helpful! Attached are photos.

 

Thanks,

 

Emma Wilton (she/her)
