The open lower bay allows space beneath the canopy, reinforcing its function as a sheltered shrine rather than a solid mass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stone is worked with precision, holding sharp edges along mouldings, cornices, and pillar sections.
