The sculpture depicts a cylindrical single-tower nuraghe whose upper part is characterized by the representation, by means of engravings, of protruding shelves that served as support for the top terrace. This category of objects represents an essential source to understand what the original appearance of the buildings was, its representation is in fact present on the bronze artefacts, in the form of miniaturistic models, ornaments and "buttons", nuragic ships, weapons of the nuragic panoply and ceramic vessels. The study of this class of objects is therefore fundamental for the understanding of rites and cults within the nuragic community.
