Stèle

Nantes (44) - Musée Dobrée / Grand Patrimoine de Loire-Atlantique

© H. Neveu-Dérotrie / Musée Dobrée – Grand Patrimoine de Loire-Atlantique

An oblong stele with a rectilinear base; the two faces are bush-hammered as well as the contours; five flutes cover the top; the base is rough. This type of stele does not correspond to those found in the Loire-Atlantique region, but on the other hand, it is similar to a stele found in Quiberon (Morbihan).
