MONCIGOLI - I
Fivizzano (MS)

Found at the beginning of this century in the plain of Moncigoli.
Retraces the structure of the stelae-statue of Pontevecchio, but it distinguishes itself in the improved formal execution and a more naturalistic characterization of the breasts : not strongly stylized, but hemispherical and close together at the center of the chest, as in the examples from Group B.
The arch which composes the head is narrower than the shoulders, unlike the other stelae-statues of Group A. Besides, it also has eyes made of chalk.
For these specific details, this monument appears to be from a transition time between the stylistic phases A and B.
