GIGLIANA
Filattiera (MS)

  A fragment from the lower half of a stelae-statue. Only the extremities of the fingers and probably the extremity of the handle of an axe are visible.
It holds as well a poignard of the rectangular type quite similar to that of Canossa, from which it differs in the absence of the handle: in fact the semi-circular pommel aligns with the sheath.
This fragment was used in 1779 as a memorial plaque dedicated to works performed at the church of Gigliana. Even the poignard was engraved with a cross and with a balance, the symbol of St. Michael, patron saint of the church.
It is currently located on the wall of the church tower.
