On one side of the stone there is an inscription, but in the stone on Hie reverse strte appears a striking outline of a face., bearing a resemblance to a Maori or an Indian. There is a clearcut forehead, the cheeks have been trimmed away, revealing a nose in profile, and a mouth and chin arc submerged In the stone.

The face in Hie stone, by another strange coincidence, looks up towards Hie bridle palh over which most of the pioneers climbed to reach Hie site of Christchurch. nritisli made Tor nrltlsli maids—FAlßY DYES for your storktnus. 5
