Arkfeld site, #44FK734, Clear Brook Virginia

Interpreted by Ken Johnston as a possible lion head figure based on stonework details on the mouth/muzzle/chin area. The elongated and somewhat boxy head is seen in Atrox. There is also stonework on the nose and eye areas.

Adam Arkfeld has identified a number of horse head sculptures from the site and sees this animal head as being horse-like. "The mane detail carved onto the left side leads me in horse direction as well as flaring nostrils."
