Another standing stone in ancient area of Prague's Vyšehrad. Although stands in the bustling location in front of the gate to the basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, the object itself is very discreet, hidden in the shadow of the wall.
The stone has 115cm in height and has almost the same width - 95cm. Perhaps it is just the bottom part of a broken stela. Material is the eruptive rock from nearest possible locality about 30km away.
