This particular menhir is currently placed upright, in a non-original position. It consists of a full-bodied slab, derived from a sturdy plate with an apparently natural cut and worked &#8220;hammer-like&#8221; in the surfaces and especially in the apex and sides. Its shape is vaguely triangular, with rounded vertices and tapered apex, with sinuous sides that widen considerably at the base. The stone is almost intact, except for a recent chipping, due to the action of mechanical means in the act of discovery.<br\/>The facade is flat, moved by some undulations, and over its entire surface is arranged a rich decoration consisting of cup marks, concentric circles and lines. The element of greatest ornamental effect, and also the most significant, is a set of concentric circles crossed from the center to the outside by a linear groove with curved ends. This motif is detectable in at least 11 examples, varying in size, now clearly evident and sometimes quite worn and difficult to read. The symbols by which it is characterized give the monument a sacred and magical significance; probably their meaning can be related to cults centered on fertility and the cycle of death and rebirth of nature and the seasons, typical of the religiosity of Neolithic-age populations, the age to which the monument dates.<br\/>The only comparisons that exist in Sardinia for this stele all come from the surroundings of Mamoiada and consist of fragments of stelae that present very similar though not identical symbols.       <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":111180,"template":"","meta":{"COMUNE":[],"note":[],"indirizzo":[],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"coordinates":[],"images":[],"adesioni":[],"footnotes":""},"monumento_tipologia":[681],"accessibilita":[706,708],"accessibilita_mezzi":[],"class_list":["post-111197","monumento","type-monumento","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","monumento_tipologia-bene-archeologico-en","accessibilita-accesibilita-al-monumento","accessibilita-disponibilita-di-parcheggio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/111197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/monumento"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/111197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":111198,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumenti\/111197\/revisions\/111198"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"monumento_tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/monumento_tipologia?post=111197"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita?post=111197"},{"taxonomy":"accessibilita_mezzi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monumentiaperti.com\/it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/accessibilita_mezzi?post=111197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
