STONES AND LIZARDS
(85CMS X 60CMS)
A taula (meaning table in Catalan) is a T-shaped stone monument found on the Balearic island of Menorca. Taulas can be up to 4 metres high and consist of a vertical pillar with a horizontal stone lying on it. A U-shaped wall often encloses the structures. They were built by the Talayotic culture between 1000BC and 300BC.
Made as a gift, this piece isn't for sale.
