Ok. There is only one single cup mark on this rock, but it really is put to very good use with a little help from the natural features of the stone (was it a lesson on how to maximize results with minimal effort?).
There is a miniature reservoir at the centre of the stone, when it overflows the liquid mainly follows the natural groove that leads it to the bottom edge of the rock.
But if there's enough water, some of it is captured in an artificial channel and driven towards the cup mark. From the cup mark the water continues down to the edge of the stone where a tiny cut guides it right on top of the water coming from the natural groove.
What was divided is reunited....before crashing to the ground, I suppose.
I'm very fond of this stone: it's the first one I've stumbled upon since I started paying attention to this traces of history.
The location is superb, near an ancient bridleway and a step away from a deep ravine, with views over the Spluga valley and its mountains.
The water show is simple but effective. Very difficult to show in a photo, though. So I've put brush to paper and I've given the water the most impressive blue. Can't be missed.
The stone is found at the edge of Mottaccio, a pasture above Madesimo and is one of many in the borough.
