0007 - Carving marble
There are several betils from Pit 40 of Perdigões, the one with the deposition of cremated human remains. Most of them are made of marble, a raw material that archaeometric studies suggest to have its origin 30/40km north of Perdigões, in the area of Borba / Vila Viçosa.
This is one of them, decorated with the radial eyes, eyebrows, facial tattoos and, in the back, the zigzag hair. Dated from the middle of the 3rd millennium BC.
