Another necklaced statue menhir with face similar to the Aveyron monoliths, part of a stone circle at Hochberg, Wurttemburg. |
This stela from Tiritaka, Ukraine, seems to be unique for the region, where most of the (published?) monoliths from its period are masculine. (Later Cuman and Tatar immigrants set up stone"old women," as they are known in Russian.) This one shows similarities to the statue-menhirs of France and Spain, especially in the rendering of the hands, breasts, and the skull-like head embedded into the shoulders and chest. |
