Abstract

Stone carving is one of the oldest of the arts. From the earliest times man has used the permanent native materials around him both to help maintain his existence and to enhance his life. Stone, being one of the more abundant and most permanent of the available materials, was familiar to man and he found he could change its shape by rubing or striking it with another stone. Thus sculpture was born and man's appreciation for this material was undoubtedly increased.
