This polished, egg-shaped stone was reportedly found near Lake Winnipesaukee in 1872 and is carved with a face, geometric designs and other symbols. Its maker and purpose have inspired more than a century of theories, though the precisely drilled holes have led some researchers to suspect a nineteenth-century origin rather than an ancient artifact. The stone is preserved by the New Hampshire Historical Society in Concord.
