Pierre aux dix doigts
The Pierre aux dix doigts ( German "Zehnfingerstein" ) is a Wetzrillenstein at a place called Luteau, on the edge of the forest west of Villemaur-sur-Vanne in the west of the Aube department in France .
The ten-finger stone is a large, half-sunk into the ground, fragmented stone, which has ten roughly parallel grooves in the upper area, which are considered to be Neolithic . Such stones are called polissoirs in French archeology . Of the existing in France stationary stones with Wetzrillen 66 stand as monuments historiques under monument protection , only one of them was found in the department of Aube.
The stone has been registered as a historical monument in the French list of monuments Base Mérimée since 1993 .
