Filetto II (Calco da toccare)
This intact male stele statue, also known as “Bocconi,” was recovered around 1870 in the Selva di Filetto (Villafranca in Lunigiana, MS). It belongs to Group C and can be dated to the Iron Age (around the 8th-6th century BCE). It has a rectangular body and a rounded head. The face is delimited by a circular relief, with circular-shaped eyes and a raised nose and mouth. The neck is short and thick, with a central raised appendage that may represent a beard or the prominence of the larynx. The clavicular band is quite wide and rendered in slight relief. The upper limbs are slightly bent at the elbows, and the large hands have a roughly rectangular shape. The lower limbs are depicted in relief, with a slight bend at the knees and both feet pointing to the left. Between the legs, there is a roughly triangular appendage that may indicate a loincloth, with testicles depicted below it. On the back of the statue, there is a long groove that probably represents the spinal column. The left hand holds an axe with a quadrangular blade and a slightly curved long handle. Two javelins rest on the right hand. A belt, located below the hands, is depicted with two raised bands and supports an antennae sword depicted on the right side. Between the axe and the clavicular line, there is an inscription in Etruscan characters. It is currently preserved in the portico of Palazzo Bocconi in Pontremoli, while casts can be found at the Museum of Pontremoli and the Museum of the Territory of the Upper Aulella Valley in Casola in Lunigiana.
