About this work

This is a tall stone monument with five figures carved into it. The center shows three standing people—one in the middle holding a globe, and two others on each side. Around them are two more figures, one on each end, holding shields or tools. The base has more carvings of people and animals, including a ship’s wheel and what looks like a door. The central figure wears a crown and holds a globe, which might suggest power or leadership. The carvings on the base include scenes that look like battles or labor, adding to the monument’s grand, busy feel. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
