H: 11.5" W: 8" D:6.5" "In the summer of 1997, a little boy named Anand was wading in one of the pools at Perego's lagoon and found this granite head. it was face-up but submerged in shallow water and partially covered with barnacles. He and his Mother and her boyfriend took it home to Seattle. Then she and her boyfriend broke up, which she attributed to bad luck from the stone head, so she brought back to Whidbey Island, intending to throw it back in the lagoon. However, she was dissuaded from doing so. Some archeologists have examined it, but none have come up with a reason for existence."
