Description
A small rock with an isolated figure of a 'hut.' The hut figures are generally less common on the western side of the valley than the east (Naquane, Foppe di Nadro etc.) but there are nevertheless many such depiction here in Seradina and close by in Bedolina.
The huts, which are a feature typical of the Camunian area, have been interpreted in various ways: initially as images of real structures such as houses, warehouses (grain stores) and temples.
Some of these contain certain realistic features: a central post, a supporting plinth and a roof with projecting beams.
More recently it has been suggested that they are imaginary places, probably sacred and connected with the afterlife (with cinerary urns from Tuscany & Lazio providing a comparison).
My own thoughts are that they represent real structures as they occur in village scenes with people and animals around them. The population had to occupy some sort of structures and no other types of dwelling occur on the corpus of engravings in Valcamonica.
