BIGLIOLO
Aulla (MS)

 This was found in May 1975 in the locality of Belvedere. Unfortunately, the excavator who disinterred it gravely damaged an Etruscan inscription on the breast, interpreted as the word vemetuvis.
The stelae-statue is whole and the head is clearly distinct from the body. The face, clearly delineated, has large eyes, a nose, a mouth, and even, the ears. From the clavicular axis extend the arms, which like the hands, are modeled with anatomical correctness.
Like almost all the others belonging to group C, it has an axe with a quadrangular blade, and a cingulum, i.e. a belt around the waist.
Below, in the center, is engraved a small inverted triangle that appears to represent a loincloth.
