Erected on the heights of Nages, this male statue-menhir displays a face, a baldric, a belt, and a pendant-dagger, testifying to the symbolic richness of local megalithic art.
Dominating the Vèbre valley from the Naujac heathland, the Triby statue-menhir, also called Fabie, is a proud male representation of regional megalithic statuary.
Carved from a block of granitic gneiss, it is distinguished by its straight lines and slender silhouette, punctuated by characteristic attributes: a finely drawn face, a baldric, a belt, arms, legs, and the prominent presence of a pendant-dagger.
Also engraved with a dotted cross and the date «1881», it tells both a millennial story and a more recent past.
Typical of the "saintponien" style, its general form reflects the artistic codes of its group, while offering visitors a visual journey into local prehistory.
