| Description | The article deals with an unusual find of a stone sculpture of a human head near Hustopeče, South Moravia, Czech Republic. The find took place in 1970‘s during D2 highway construction without any documentation. The article therefore only deals with archaeological comparison of similar finds. The analysis shows that it is probably an individual naive style, which has no regional or chronological analogue. The context of known local archaeological sites does not present an opportunity to under stand the origin of the find, the raw materiál (sandstone) may have come from the vicinity of the highway ramp near Blučina, where similar, though untreated, boulders were found in archaeological features. |
