Discovered in 1850 by Increase A Lapham, this is the only known intaglio effigy mound in the World. It was excavated for ceremonial purposes by American Indians of the Effigy Mound culture about 1000 AD. A part of the tail has been Covered. Of ten other recorded intaglios, all now destroyed, eight were similar in representing the panther; and two represented bears.
