#StandingStoneSunday a #Neolithic human-shaped stela with a necklace and a belt, carved in limestone. Found in Montagnac, #France. Dating 3200-2400 BC.
In the late neolithic period, several cultures living between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caucasus erected human-shaped stone sculptures showing clothing, weapons, and jewellery. The stelae were symbols of power and status and were used for ancestor worship and rituals
On display at Musée d'Histoire Naturelle, Nîmes
