TREE IN SOUTH AFRICA

Looks normal from a distance.....

but take a closer look...

The mystery is nobody knows who the artist was!

Here are some close-ups....

Amazing how someone can actually carve into and

sculpture this and not kill the tree!  

No one knows, to anyone's  knowledge, who did the

carvings but they are over 500 years old and done

with very exceptional detail.  
When it was discovered a lot of questions were asked

of the villagers as to who may have done this and

done it in a way that kept tree from dying.
