Statue-menhir de Durenque
Statue-menhir de Durenque submitted by ocdolmen : Statue-menhir de Durenque (Vote or comment on this photo)
Menhir-statue of Durenque is presented at Durenque village in Aveyron.

The head seems to be shaped more recently than the rest of the monolith.

On the photo, we can see the two eyes, the nose, a little mouth (only 3 menhirs-statues present a mouth), the enigmatic "objet" (copper or flint knife ?), a part of one arm (?) and the belt.
Period: certainly the bronze age.


Edit 6-2016:
The Statue-Menhir is now in the Moulin de Roupeyrac et Musée François Fabié
