This is mostly funerary, along with evidence of every day living.
I wish I could have taken photos, as some of the work was quite extravagant in details, but alas, I am attracted to the stone work.
I am always most facinated with architectural graveyards, a place where unclaimed, repetitive, or pieces to far gone are gathered into one place. To imagine making the decisions of what is relevant and what is not, just to many, or out of room, as they gather to the side. I find these when I can and photograph them. It might be related to my tendency to hoard, the fact that they can never be truly discarded attracts me.
There are two type of these, half chiseled from stone, and the better detailed ones are clay. Imagine the death of a person and having to quickly create a resting place. Or are these made in advance?....
