This photo shows a tall, carved stone column covered in detailed reliefs. The carvings depict a busy scene with soldiers, horses, and buildings—like a story unfolding in layers. Some figures are riding, some are marching, and others appear to be working or fighting. The photo itself is old, with a faded, grainy look that makes the carvings stand out in sharp contrast. This was taken in the 1860s, so it’s not the original sculpture but a record of it. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original works like this.
