Fragmented and irregular schist gravestone, of the type I or Alentejo’s type (Gomes e Monteiro, 1977). It has the engraving of an anchor-shaped figure, a very typical decoration motif of this type of stela. The relief was obtained by carving the stone around the motif one wanted to define. This type of stelae would have worked as cist graves tombstones that were horizontally placed on the sepulchres. The gravestones with representations of weapons are typical of the southern area of today’s Portuguese territory, being documented in a vast area that extends itself from the Santiago do Cacém municipality to the Algarve.
