Do you think this chair back is acanthus leaves or a face like the Whistling Straits logo?

Humans are wired to perceive human forms when they really don't exist. That's why we see faces in rocks, trees, and other body shapes in nature. On the other hand, maybe the carver decided to have a little fun with the work after having carved a few hundred similar chairs. Have fun with your work.
