Sculptured Stone in Tessin

1991 described stone plate with an inscription. The inscription is composed of characters of the alphabet of Lugano and characters that do certainly not belong to the Lepontic characters (the 2nd character from the left and the character ‘G’).

The stone measures 75 cm x 10 cm.

The stone plate can be seen in a retaining wall along the road from Banco to Novaggio.
