Symbolical Carving in an Ornamental Niche
An ornamented figure occupies a densely carved niche surrounded by curling foliage and smaller decorative forms. The source caption calls the image Symbolical Carving. Churchward reproduces it among the visual comparisons of The Lost Continent of Mu. The caption does not securely establish an individual sculptor or an exact archaeological provenance for this reproduction.
