Castagneta

It is a stele statue head : It was bought by an antiquarian and probably comes from a village in the Taverone valley , Castagneta (Licciana Nardi, MS) on the right side of the road that connects Licciana and Comano , almost on the border between these two towns . It belongs to the B group and dates to the Eneolithic Age ( between 3400/3300 and 2300/2000 b.C.) . The head is semicircular with elongations at the sides , the neck is rounded and the sunken face is U-shaped . At the bottom of the face a slight curve probably hints at the chin or a beard .
It is kept at the Pontremoli Museum .
