Sculptured Stone in Tessin

This fragment of a stele was probably already discovered in 1853 and it was found again in 1913.

The inscription in Lepontic characters reads: NIALVI:PALA (nialui pala).

The stele has a length of 71 cm, a breadth of 46 cm and a width of 5 cm. It was dated to the 5th to the beginning of the 4th Century BC.

It is safe and secure in a depot of Ufficio Cantonale dei Beni Culturali, Viale Stefano Franscini 30a, 6501 Bellinzona. tel. +41 91 814 13 80
