Pailhemalbiau statue menhir submitted by thecaptain on 15th Apr 2006. This fine fellow stands 2 metres tall, and all his features can be clearly made out, both front and back.
He has two rings for eyes, but no nose or tattous on his face. Arms and fingers are clear, as is his "Objet" on its shoulder strap. His belt has a nice buckle, and his legs have all their toes clearly in place. He carries a weapon identified as a boomerang.

Plos statue menhir 2 submitted by thecaptain on 12th May 2009. Probably once a statue-menhir, this is not classed as such as no discernible features can be seen engraved on it.
That’s what several thousands of years of weather does for you.

Pré-de-Roi menhir submitted by theCaptain on 1st Nov 2010. The Pré-de-Roi menhir is 2.5 metres tall and looks for all the world like it should be carved into a statue menhir.
Perhaps it once was, and all the features have been eroded away by several thousand years of being in the open.
