Borno Stelae (4)
Borno Stelae (4) submitted by Martin_L : Borno 4, carvings: arrangements of 7 animals (some probably deer) and 3 daggers (bottom right). Above the animals a large oval-shaped symbol, and a large axe-like object in front of the animals. As in many other cases it is hardly possible to give a reliable interpretation. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Menhir/stele with masterly rock carvings from copper age (4200-4800 BP) found at Borno in Val Camonica (Lombardia).


Part of the UNESCO-World heritage. Currently exhibited at the Naquane National Park of Rock Engravings (Parco nazionale delle incisioni rupestri di Naquane).

Borno 4 - Carvings: arrangements of 7 animals (some probably deer) and 3 daggers (bottom right). Above the animals a large oval-shaped symbol, and a large axe-like object in front of the animals.
As in many other cases it is hardly possible to give a reliable interpretation.

The Val Camonica is named after the “Camunni” the first people settling in this area approximately 8000 BP. The first rock carvings are dating back to 6000 BP, while the major part of the over 350.000 carvings in Val Camonica is from Pre-Roman Iron Age (2800-2100 BP)
