This small anthropomorphic carved standing stone was discovered in a dry-stacked stone wall near a farmhouse, together with other fragmented examples, in the locality of Talèlla on the Pranu Margiani plateau. The sculpture raises important questions about the miniaturization of the original form and the simplification of symbolic features, now reduced to the face alone. It also shows the adoption of engraving techniques that gradually replaced bas- relief carving.
