This is a black-and-white photo of broken stone blocks dug up from the ground. The chunks look like parts of a larger structure—maybe a building or column—with rough edges and some carvings still visible. The dirt around them is uneven, and a few weeds poke through. The photo was taken in the 1860s after archaeologists found these pieces buried near an old church. They’re not polished or finished, just raw stone with signs of wear. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more artifacts like this.
