stone carvings
Chiseled rock art
Stone carvings are sculptural works created by cutting, chipping, or shaping stone.
The term covers everything from ancient petroglyphs to ornate cathedral facades to modern monuments.
Unlike stone sculptures, which may be freestanding figures, carvings often remain attached to or integrated with larger stone surfaces: The temple's stone carvings depicted scenes from mythology.
