The stone was discovered in 1988 in the area of the Kontrewers village, near Mniów in the Świętokrzyskie region, and is considered one of the most curious Polish archeological relics. There are two unidentified human figures engraved on it - one masculine and one feminine, according to folk legends, they are said to be of demonic origin. Scientific research also seem to prove this notion – the stone is probably connected with the late-medieval or early-modern representations of Slavic pagan beliefs.
After being discovered for the first time, the stone was reburied and rested in the ground for more than ten years until Ph. D. Gerard Gierliński from the National Geological Institute in Warsaw decided to return to this finding and reinterpreted its engravings. According to his theory, they are very similar to the representations of Kokopella, a fertility deity of the North-American Hopi Indians. After excavating the stone, it occurred that it had been placed on a pedestal, exactly on the East-West axis, and the images had been engraved on its western side.

There are various scientific conceptions concerning this subject, nevertheless, it is worth to see the stone for its original engravings.
