Description Roos Carr Figures. If there was an award for the most strange and haunting exhibit, I think this one would win hands down. The quartzite eyes in these polished yew figures' detailed faces seem to return your gaze.

These wooden 'idols' are great. One was found at Kingsteignton, near Newton Abbot, minus the male appendage (see http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=41720), and minus the scary eyes!
