This photo shows a worn stone carving with figures in a repeating pattern. The relief is low, so the shapes stand out slightly from the flat surface. Some figures hold objects like staffs or animals, and the scene looks like a procession or battle. The carving is part of a temple frieze, but the stone is cracked and faded. The photo was taken in the mid-1800s to document ancient art before it disappeared. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more original sculptures like this.
