Detail of Capitello dei Due Pini
with the central figures of deer and axes |
The Camunian stele statues are block with slightly anthropomorphic form
probably set in an architectonic and scenic contest of alignments or
circles and perhaps in reference, like outfit, like in the Swiss Valais,
of a ritual areas or tribal reunions. On these monuments we can find
engraved figures of weapons, (daggers with triangular blade of lithic
or metallic type, axes, halberds) animals, (above all Cervids) objects
and symbols, (parallel lines, zig-zag patterns and grids) set in conformity
with rules of the Indo-European way of thinking.
