This black-and-white photo shows a carved stone monument inside a church. At the top, a robed figure stands with one arm raised, holding what looks like a scroll or book. Below, a row of smaller figures kneels along the front, all dressed in long robes. The monument sits in a shadowy corner, with light coming from the side, making some details stand out. The photo was taken in 1906 as part of a survey of buildings. The artist, George Scamell, recorded many historic sites this way.
