Orthostates.

Gavrinis.

Sous le cairn, le dolmen de Gavrinis constitué d’un long couloir où s’alignent des orthostates sculptées est l'un des plus beaux et des mieux conservés en Bretagne. Les dalles décorées sont considérées comme l’apogée de l’art mégalithique breton. Les chercheurs y voient des représentations d’idoles féminines associées au serpent, des haches, des crosses et des arcs attributs du pouvoir masculin.

The decorated slabs are considered the pinnacle of Breton megalithic art. Researchers see representations of female idols associated with the snake, axes, butts and bows attributes of male power.
