Aboriginal art?

Postby puredingo » Mon 18 Nov, 2013 3:28 pm

Can anybody with a better trained eye than mine vouch for the authenticity of this drawing. The picture fits the surrounds as I found it in a cave which over looks a big body of water and the fella appears to be holding a spear and a net. The fact that it isn't charcoal but drawn with a sandstone chip has me wondering?

That looked dodgy, real dodgy. Let alone the fact that it looked too fresh.

Yeah, I agree BUT if i did have to launch a case in it's defence I'd wonder why there was no other graffiti, kids stuff, around it and why they went to the effort of tying the figure in so aptly to it's surrounds? Usually the fake ones are obvious because they over do the detail....this one is very minimal?
