This is a black-and-white photo of carved stone. The top shows three round shapes with faces inside, like masks. Below them are rows of smaller figures, some with curly hair or crowns, sitting in a line. The bottom half has a busy scene with people riding elephants and horses, carrying objects. This photo was taken in the 1850s by a doctor who also made sketches. The carvings look old and detailed, showing a mix of people and animals in a story-like scene. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
