Falling Rock Signs from the Balearic Islands

Andratx, ii.2007; pict. G. De Knijf

This sign is the same as one of the common finds from Spain. It belongs to the second group with six stones and the third one tooth­like. The stones are a bit less edgy though.

Our second find (from the same region) is a real eye-catcher. Also six boulders, but with completely different shapes: a drawing-pin, a shoe, an hourglass, kind of a hook. Weird. A boy emptying his pockets?

This one comes also from main­land Spain. It's the very common kind with five boulders and a stone formula of small - big - small - big - flat.
Ciutadella, 26.v.2017, Menorca; pict. Baeten & De Dier

A sign which is clearly inspired by the most wide­spread Italian warning sign. Notice, however, that the stones show more variation in their shape than the original. The italian rocks are regular hexagons while the balearic version features a tetragon, pentagons, a hexagon, and even a heptagon.
