This photo shows a weathered stone arch with deep carvings. Two tall columns frame an entrance, their surfaces packed with detailed reliefs of people and animals. The carvings look worn, like they’ve been there for centuries, and the stone around them is rough and cracked. The arch’s name hints it might have been part of a shop or workshop long ago. The carvings show figures in robes, possibly traders or craftsmen, and a small animal at the bottom. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of this photo.
