It is a male, headless sandstone statue stele. It was brought to light in 1984 during agricultural work in “San Martino Basso,” in the locality of “Monti” (Licciana Nardi, MS). It belongs to Group B and can therefore be attributed to the Eneolithic period (between 3400/3300 and 2300/2000 BC). The body is rectangular, with a slightly visible thick neck, a narrow and raised clavicular band, upper limbs forming a pronounced curve at the end, and hands depicted with parallel lines. Below the hands, in a horizontal position, a dagger is depicted in slight relief by lowering the background plane. The blade is triangular, and the handle has a semicircular pommel.

Archaeological excavation:

The archaeological excavation of Venelia II, carried out in 1986-87, covered the entire field where the statue stele was found. It was located in a disturbed and altered first layer due to plowing and agricultural work, which yielded Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, and modern ceramics. However, in the area, artifacts have been found that indicate Eneolithic activity, likely related to the monument itself, as well as a stone alignment possibly contemporary with the statue stele.

The statue stele is preserved at the Museum of Pontremoli.
