A stone sculpture.

A stone sculpture is an object made of stone which has been shaped, usually by carving, or assembled to form a visually interesting three-dimensional shape.

Stone is more durable than most alternative materials, making it especially important in architectural sculpture on the outside of buildings.

These different techniques are anvil/block-on-block technique, stone hammer, cylinder hammer, bipolar, step flaking, Clactonian flaking, Levalloisian flaking, discoid core Mousterian flaking, pressure flaking, fluting, backing or blunting, peeking, sawing, grinding and polishing, and shattering techniques.
