Notes

This Tubular bannerstone is finely sculpted and polished with dimorphic banding in the slate. The tubular form was carved so that one side of the stone has concentric banding originating at one edge while the other side has different concentric banding originating at the opposite edge. This creates a strong graphic optical effect when looking at the stone. A4345/9575 is written in black on one side; 9575 is written in white on the other side. There is aged Styrofoam in the perforation for installation purposes.
