defacings
Acts of marring
Defacings are acts of marring or damaging the surface or appearance of something, typically through vandalism.
The word usually describes deliberate damage to public property, monuments, or signs: The defacings of campaign posters continued throughout the election season.
Defacing can also apply to documents—stamping, writing on, or otherwise altering them in unauthorized ways.
