The branch with a clover design was found in 2019, close to the Caserne Lambert barracks during a geotechnical survey. The basalt stela was found in an archaeological test trench opened in 2020 in the same sector. Associated with human bones, this grave find dated to the 19th century comes from what was probably the Cimetière des Blancs (no. 11 on the earlier map of 1808) and was reused during works on the Caserne in the 1960s.
