The woman who called the cows?

A statue menhir incorporated into the wall of a house in Ermida, northern Portugal, recorded on her rediscovery in 1981. The wall is shared with other houses around a courtyard for keeping cattle. The statue - already ancient - was likely incorporated into the construction of these buildings centuries ago, though presumably would have once stood upright nearby.
