stone engraving
Chiseled mineral inscription
Stone engraving is the art or process of cutting designs, letters, or images into stone surfaces using specialized tools.
The technique has been used for millennia to create everything from ancient petroglyphs to modern memorial headstones.
A stone engraving is also the finished product of this craft—the carved inscription or image itself.
The stone engraving on the courthouse facade dates to 1892.
