Archaeological description
Blocco monolitico a sezione troncoconica, capovolta. Sulla faccia superiore sono presenti due fori, di cui uno chiuso da colature di piombo, destinati ad ospitare il manubrio. La base, scabra, è leggermente concava e presenta una cavità, anch'essa riempita con del piombo quale giusta taratura del contrappeso. Per le lacune è impossibile determinare il suo peso originario (Cavada et al. 1993).
