Rock Cut Tomb in Sardinia (Sardegna)
Inside the village of Nughedu Santa Vittoria there are some domus de janas, survivors of a larger necropolis, destroyed to build houses over the centuries. A tomb is very interesting, as it preserves peculiar architectural and decorative elements, like a pillar with relief decoration, representing a bull's head (according to some scholars an upside-down anthropomorphic). On the walls we can see decorative motifs in relief, in the form of panels and a false door, with remains of red paint.
