Rock Art in Finland
The Devil's table is a sacrificial stone located in the village of Hummovaara in Kesälahti. The height of the stone is 0.3–0.5 meters and its sides measure 2.05 meters and 1.78 meters. The flat top surface of the tabletop stone has 78 cup marks ranging in diameter from three to eight centimeters.
According to folk tales, the cup marks in the stone would have been created when the devil danced on the stone at midnight.
