Rieuviel statue menhir 2

Site Type: Sculptured Stone

Visited: Yes on 20th Jun 2006. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 5
Rieuviel statue menhir 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Nov 2010.
He stands about 1.7 metres tall, and the engravings on the front are superb, and very clear. He has a full face, arms (with fingers), collar piece, belt with buckle, legs (with toes). I could not make out what weapons he carries, and the back is not clear.
Unfortunately, when I visited in 2005, the poor chap is being used as a fence post, and the wire fence is scratching and degrading this 5000 year old stone.

Many of his features are equally scrawny. Legs, belt and "objet" can be made out but the rest is a bit of a jumble.
