This Museum Artistic Replica would be a great addition to any Dime store museum, collector or enthusiast. The stone is about 16 inches tall but it may vary depending on the pour, and 8 to 9 inches wide. It is made from a hard plastic. There is a hole in the bottom so that you can pour concrete or another heavy material inside. The faux finish is a sealed green granite look. When this was written 5 other museums around the US and Canada also displayed this same Artifact that's been brought back to life.
During the summer of 1920 during the construction of a pond-size reservoir, a man named Bud Chalmers. While dumping a load of earth from a horse drawn scraper he noticed an unusually heavy stone that had been sculpted. A woman named Lela Smith took 3 photos of the stone, If this school teacher had not taken these 3 pictures the knowledge of this would have been lost.
An outsider to Granby Colorado named Henry F. Knight convinced Bud that this stone needed to be in a museum, and he paid $300.00 for the stone. Knight donated the stone to a museum back east, and the stone was never seen again.
The Chinese writing was from a dialect over 1000 years old. The symbols mean: North, River, Fruit, and Fish. There is an Ice age Mammoth on one side, a Dinosaur on the other, and a pre-Buddha figure..
There is also a 3rd hand on the top of the head that may be for people passing by to rub for good luck.
The original stone has been hidden or destroyed, but the message of the ancients is still here thanks to the photos.
his sculpture was done from the only 3 pictures of the stone in existence and was the first piece in the series to be completed.
