Description

A pale carved stone fragment lies on top of a rubble stone wall, with a rounded end at the right and a slender arm-like part extending to the left. Above it, a weathered timber beam and wooden framing cover the wall, while large stones fill the foreground. The surface of the fragment looks chipped and weathered.
