    Would this be what one could have expected as ritual in these times? Very life like shot Al. Wondering whats in the bags they carry,. I see they all have diff prints but the same style.. Hummm.. Got me wondering now..:)))

  • Hmmm, the shape of them had me thinking they were shields? Now we won’t sleep tonight…

    Great play on words with that title, Al. I had to google to see if that truly was the title. Good shot.

  • I don’t know if that artifact has a title or not. I was moving so fast on most of these I didn’t have time to stop and read.
