Makapansgat pebble
The Makapansgat pebble or the pebble of many faces, is a 260Â g jasperite cobble with natural chipping and wear patterns that make it look like a crude rendition of a human face and is considered the first manuport. The pebble is interesting in that it was found some distance from any possible natural source, in the context of Australopithecus africanus remains in South Africa.
