Stone carvings

Stone carvings are artworks created by shaping and chiseling stone, often to depict figures, scenes, or symbols. This ancient practice has been used in various cultures worldwide, from monumental sculptures in ancient Egypt to intricate reliefs in Greek and Roman architecture. Carvings can be functional, decorative, or both, playing significant roles in religious, cultural, and historical contexts. Common tools include chisels and hammers, and materials range from soft limestone to hard granite. The durability of stone makes these carvings long-lasting, allowing them to convey stories and artistic expressions for centuries.
