Geoglyph on hillside of a Giant Head with Long Hair

Posted by c tito young on 13 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 10 March 2021.

A geoglyph of a giant head 50m wide x 100m long, oriented north to south, is part natural feature and man-made modifications hidden in a steep hillside with a change in elevation of 40m. Its drawn view give an impression of a huge grinning smiling person with long hair. It has shifty half closed circular shaped eyes, with its face accented in a split tone of dark and light. The giant head’s shape appears abstract, elongated and thin.

Southeast of this artwork is the famous “Hummingbird” geoglyph just 200m away.
