Sandstone carvings

Sandstone carvings are sculptures and inscriptions etched into sandstone, a soft, sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles. Artists and artisans carve into the stone using chisels and tools, often creating detailed images, symbols, or text. Because sandstone is relatively easy to work with, it has been a popular material for decorative and artistic purposes throughout history. These carvings can be found in ancient temples, monuments, and archaeological sites, offering insights into past cultures, beliefs, and artistic styles. Proper preservation is essential to protect these historical artifacts from weathering and erosion.
