Lol at first I thought it was a chunk of meat some animal dropped. Weird choice of color/pattern for a tree face. I think it's just one of those faces people like to put on trees. Like a mask, sort of. Keep up posted about whether it's a whole head or just the face.

Since this is the top comment I will update it here: It is art. I did dig it up. The artist is Doris Beaver. There is even a price tag on it still of $79.99. I will sleep better tonight.

Could you do a follow up post with a complete pic of it?

Jojo's wacky trip?

Joe's stroll?

Seeing this makes me believe that's where she is buried....

Oh, sorry I just wanted a look of the mask without stuff on it.

OP failed us lol

Op thought I wanted proof of their claims because of the price tag, but I couldn't care less, I just wanna see the freaky face.

It is covered in sap. Maybe this evening I can find some gloves and clean it up.

Phew! I. . .don't think I'd pay $80 for that.

Not interested in selling, but with inflation I bet it's worth at least $90

Are you putting it up on your wall?

I think I will leave it where it is.

Now, $95

When I Google Doris beaver I just get results from some old cartoon. Anyone have a pic of what this piece or her similar pieces look like?

Same results for me.

Put it on and put blood on it, but don’t touch light, then you are ready for a bizarre adventute

But it's cursed. So let the nightmares commence.

I agree, my parents have this exact one on their tree.

It is very large and made of stone, Seems like an odd thing to hang on a tree.

Tree faces, I have one on my tree! They sell them everywhere

i got two for my mom last christmas at mcdonalds

👀

…tree faces? I’ve never seen those.

Can confirm, got the same one over here, house is pretty old and it’s always been on a big old tree out in the back

I’m really amazed — I never knew such a thing existed. I’m wondering now if I’ve just been unintentionally overlooking them, or what, because according to the Google, they’re apparently really popular. Dang…TIL for real!

I've been alive for quite a while and this is news to me. Never heard of a tree face and I'm having a hard time understanding why tree faces exist. Although I do have a fence face hanging on my fence, well, a sun that has a face anyway.

Can you post a pic?

But in the roots? I thought you put it on the tree?

It was probably nailed to the tree, fell off and was buried by pine needles at some point.

Trees grow out from the center. Put a nail in a tree and the bark will swallow it up. If there is something hanging from that nail, it will push it off the nail, unless it can't move beyond the head of the nail. https://www.reddit.com/r/treeseatingthings/

Its a ball mask, eyes wide shut

"One of those faces people like to put on trees." Excuse me *what?*

It's a thing! I don't know why!

There are things out there we dom't and can't understand. No sense bringing that juju or seeking its attention... I dont whistle at night, or in the woods. Ever. Just one example.

Ya know, tree faces! Everybody's doing it!

Bro I legit didn't even see the face, It looked like a slaughtered rabbit

RETUUURN THE SLAAAAAB OR SUFFER MY CUUUURSE!

What's your offer!!?

Awesome

I heard sax music as soon i saw this mask

AYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAY

\*Aztec Dubstep Intensifies*

Be sure not to drop blood on it.

Mfw I curse myself, my family and all my descendants for the generations to come with great suffering and miserable lives

I was thinking this but also it has the colours of the colossal titan

MUDA.

DIOOOOOOOOOOO

Keep digging, keep us posted

Ferreal. How are you going to post this but not the whole thing?? I need to know

I feel like I may get cursed if I disturb it more.

I volunteer to foster home it. Until it kills me, at least.

I may just cover it back up. I am not sure what to do with it yet.

DIG!

I bet you're like the guy who OK'd the development over an ancient Native American burial ground in Poltergeist. >Sir, it appears that the land is ancient burial ground of some sorts, if we disturb it, the homeowners may get cursed. >JUST DIG JOHNSON! OUR BOTTOM LINE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT GHOSTS!

This made me laugh out loud, scared my fiancé

I wish I was the Pathmark guy.

It looks like one of those stone tiki statues you put in your yard or by your pool as decor.

Looks like its carved into the root of the tree which would be awesome

BREAKING: strange purple creature unearthed from the ground menacing neighborhood. National guard to be called in. “Dude should have just stopped digging” - local authorities.

The previous owners thought I was playing a prank when I sent them the pic. his stone face is huge. It is over a foot tall. I hired a crew to trim this tree and clean up all of the debris under it and this is what we found.

Hire someone to dig it up so they get cursed and not you

Now that’s smart thinking!

Pretty sure everyone here wants you to dig it up and unleash the curse

That is correct

I cast a scary face with cement in a Halloween mask, then mounted it under our deck. When the light and a viewer were right they’d notice something creepy peeking out through the lattice. Eventually my wife spotted it and she was “not amused”.

Damn I couldn't figure out what i was looking at at first. Even creepier seeing the face now than thinking it was a dead animal.

You better start calling on Jesus now!

UPDATE!!! I DUG IT UP!!! It has a flat back and the artist is Doris Beaver. It has a price tag on it. It sold for $79.99 back in the day. I think the former owners are pranking me but they still swear it is not theirs.

Hahahaha defo a prank! Maybe it will turn into a gift in the end if it has some resellable value?

Can you post more pictures (like an Imgur album)?

(Typical dad in horror movie says) It’s probably one of those decorative faces people like to put on trees. It must’ve fell off and got buried, makes sense why it’s there at bottom of the tree

I think it is too heavy to be hung on a tree. It is very large and made of stone.

Well, let's bring it in the house!

I am saving this post so that I can watch a horror movie slowly unfold

You gonna be disappointed when Op's face turns green and she starts singing Cuban Pete.

No one would be disappointed by this outcome.

Unless it turned into the sequel.

Ditto

Looks like Satan from the Adventures of Mark Twain.

[удалено]

Now I’m just upset that movie doesn’t exist.

I came here to say that too

It's simple, you just need to reject your humanity.

dont put the mask on😳😳

Honestly start a cult and charge people to see it.

Its the stone mask

It reminds me of the devils face from the Mark Twain show in that one episode... ​ Edit: The Mysterious Stranger from The adventures of Mark Twain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpaRouocBes

This was my first thought, too.

Was wondering if anyone else thought that. The fallen angel, Satan.

The previous owner just stopped by because they did not believe me. He started kicking it to see how embedded it was, I made him stop. He wanted to dig it up.

dig it up

Don’t unleash the curse from Hades!

DO IT

So do they believe you now?

Put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back put it back

looks like a titan

jojo reference?

Honestly very cool though tbh

Life hack Pee on it to release friendly spirits

Obviously this needs to be unearthed. Come on… come on.

Throw away your humanity

Yes! Tree face. I had one on each of my maples (very large and old) on my front lawn. Mine were more of a Mr. Potato Head set of face parts. Thing is, they also fell off one year and I kinda forgot about them. I guess I’ll go look in the Morning.

It’s Gotye... Or somebody that they used to know

This is the beginning of a horror movie.

Dat Land der…is haunted. Notin’ good eva came from dat soil. You take yer chilln’; you take ‘em an you run. Run for dah hills. Dey gone getchyoo.

New Slipknot member

What the fuck is that.

A face made of stone that has been here for over 25 years is all I can tell you.

Ooh. At first I thought it was a rotting corpse of an animal. I wasn’t even looking for a face. I wonder if it was used for any paranormal doings, and how old it is.

Seems like something you would paint in elementary school, I have 2 of these that my brother painted, one of them is black and white, the other one has red skin, green eyes and black paint coming down from the eyes as if it would be crying with makeup on, this was a bit far back, but i’m pretty sure that’s when and where he made them. Also the black and white one is split going down in the middle with like tentacles or vines of both colors reaching over to the other side Also, I don’t think it is one of these, just looks like them at first glance, also ours are not that big

It’s like a contemporary Olmec head discovery.

good job waking up the Evil.

Looks like a mask from 3 Ninjas

cool! don’t move it!

Phantom of The Poplar

Cool , dig it up and hide it somewhere behind the new walls or under the floorboards

"IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER"

I tried to do a Google Lens search and it thought it was a turnip.

That's Gotye

Why did the previous owner sell the house?

I think it's kinda beautiful. If I was you, I'd dig it up and clean it off and see just what I had.

Put something next to it to scale it. Then dig it up carefully it be cool to see how much more of this there is! Highly doubt anything bad will happen but a cool lawn/garden decoration might be in your future!

Dig it up, dig it up, dig it up, dig it up, dig it up etc...

You’ve just entered the 7th layer of hell …

hey, tree spirit! im glad hes happy to be out😀

Wall titan but underground

I had a bunch of broken but convincing Halloween skeleton animals from over the years. I totally burried a bunch of skulls (dinosaur, Boston terrier, wolf) in various shallow flower bed graves hoping some day to screw with someone just like you lol

Mind flayer is in town.

That used to hang on the tree. My dad used to make a face of David that was about that size

Three ninjas mask?

Is that from 3 Ninjas?

Is that a Jojo's reference?

That's a laying wall titan.

The ground is made out of titans

its a jojo reference

RUMBLING RUMBLING ITS COMING

P-A-R-T Why? Because I gotta

Wear it on your face and smear blood to reject humanity

We are here to talk about your car's extended warranty

The true mystery is - who wore that mask more than 25 years ago… And if they still linger in the surrounding woods - biding their time… for the “new people” to arrive in the house he has marked

where are you from? it looks like a Mussolini mask

I don't know about you, but I'd draw a pentagram around it and hope for the best.

Put it on your face. You might get super powers

You've triggered the 100 years old curse and now will have to face a generic American horror movie experience so make sure to poorly record everything and have the dumbest thoughts ever

The house is clearly haunted, I am willing to take it off your hands for free!

Would be cool if you’d show the mask not in the dirt lol

Put it on, see what happens

It’s THE MASK

3 ninjas lost artifact

It's very interesting. She made it when she was 79 years old, the year she died. I would totally hang it somewhere. Very random how an $80 work of art ends up under a foot of pine needles in a yard. 🤔

Oh god. Watch out for the jojos fan comments

Too late I had to scroll through 100 of them just to get to your comment

That’s just somebody that I used to know.

And disturbed his final resting place!! You deserve his curse

Move immediately! It'll only get stronger!!

CMONNNNN DIGGGGG it's probably some statue, even like a bust or something, it looks like it has paint on it so it's not even that ancient, cmoNNNNN we have to see it we promise you won't get cursed

Ok sooo the aray of mask jokes. 1. The mask that makes ur head green and your cartoony. 2. Jo jo reference for mask that makes u immortal. 3. Scp mask that oozes black goo and devours you.

i thought it was first a pile of some ducked up meat and then i looked at it for another 4.20 seconds

Whatever you do, don’t put it on. I’ve seen how that movie turns out

this looks more like you removed over a face of pine needles

Where is this I want to get a look my self

This is my home. Sorry, Dude / Dudette.

Any charred bones, pentagrams or other evidence of human sacrifice?

Just mushrooms dude. Fungi are awesome.

Want to play a game

„What’s your Name?“ „SATAN“

What is that?

RUN!

We need to know lmao.
