This is a black-and-white photo of a carved stone tomb. Two figures lie side by side in robes, their hands resting on their chests. The person on the left has a pillow behind their head, while the one on the right holds a small object. The carving shows folds in the fabric and careful details like jewelry and hair. The tomb looks like it’s meant to honor two people, possibly a couple. The craftsmanship is precise, with smooth curves and sharp edges in the stone. Check out more works by Felton, Herbert to see how he handled other memorials.
