Description
This rock was long known by local inhabitants as the 'Puppet Stone' in reference to the carvings upon it. The main facing containing most of the engravings is badly damaged, especially the lower part, which remained underground for a long time.
To date over 150 engravings have been identified, including many animals, a dagger and a ploughing scene. The animals include; stags with large antlers, fawns, chamois with short, hooked horns, ibex with backward-fgacing horns and swine (wild boars & pigs). The canids, depicted in groups with downward-pointing tails, are interpreted as a pack of wolves. The cattle, without horns or tails, may represent young oxen or cows grazing.
The presence of daggers which closely resemble finds from the graveyard of Remedello Sotto, dates most of the figures to 2900-2500 BC. A few animals depicted in a dynamic style, similar to that of figures on the Cemmo 3 & 4 stelae, may be attributed to the Bell Beaker Culture (2500-2200 BC).
