A very large chlorite schist jug existed in the village of Ambodisiny, on the Ivondro River, but was deliberately destroyed by a French
soldier. In 1971, some of its pieces were discovered, whilst the remaining parts are still buried under thick vegetation. Further south,
on the Pangalanes Canal, a monument is still visible. It is known as the
vato sarilambo
or
vatolambo
. It is a sculpture of a bush pig at
the Ambohitsara village, about fifty kilometers north of Mananjary.
