This stone was very important to José Saramago. Made of volcanic rock, he found it on Lanzarote, where he lived. It had a symbolic meaning to Saramago. He said that up to and including his book Blindness, he was describing people as statues, metaphorically speaking, but then he began to take an interest in the stone, the material that statues are made of.
The stone was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by the José Saramago Foundation and Pilar del Río in 2024.
