Stone face revealed during tower restoration

During the restoration of the Kyloe Tower in Northumberland, the faded image of a woman's face was revealed on a stone that juts out near the top of the tower. The stone is believed to have been one of several corbels that would have been used to support a gallery from which visitors could look at the splendid view. Find out more in the article at the Journal, which includes a nice picture.

I don't know if it's the picture or if I'm simply missing something, but I just don't see the face. How about you?

It looks like the face of an alien with large eyes, IMHO. Heh, heh… I guess that this is proof that aliens existed back then too. ;)

i see what looks like a woman’s face on the rock to the left but i think it’s supposed to be on the one in the middle…

If it is a human face, it is not a very attractive woman.
