Commentary
Images in Giussani 1919: 16, fig. 1 (photo), Stifter 2020: ? (photo).
Irregular stela of beola gneiss found during the building of the road to Indemini in mid-March 1917, when a moraine was cleared near the locality Campaccio, at a depth of ca. 1.5 m (Giussani 1919: 15 f.). Dating based on De Marinis & Motta 1991: 206, who tentatively ascribe the stela to their type B (rectangular stela with anthropomorphic frame); Morandi 2004 gives the first half of the 4th c. BC.
