Stone Reliefs

Stone reliefs are carved images or designs etched directly into stone surfaces, often used to tell stories, depict deities, or commemorate events. These reliefs can range from shallow engravings (bas-reliefs) to deeply carved scenes. They served as visual communication in ancient cultures, conveying religious beliefs, historical achievements, or ceremonial narratives. Created by chiseling away stone around the design, reliefs are durable and durable because they are part of the stone monument itself, making them valuable archaeological artifacts that offer insight into the culture and practices of past civilizations.
