Memorial stone, white, with the inscription "Catecombe di Santa Agnese, Roma 12 Febraio 1856"

A memorial stone is a type of commemoration in which the main role is played by a stone block, often pre-worked, bearing traces of being obtained in a quarry, or an erratic boulder set on a pedestal. Memorial stones are enriched with a textual layer by engraving inscriptions or placing plaques, usually made of stone or metal, with a dedicatory inscription.

The memorial stone made of white marble has the inscription: "Catecombe di Santa Agnese, Roma 12 Febraio 1856", which is exhibited in the Museum-Castle in Łańcut. It comes from the collection of the Potocki family. The memorial stone belongs to the second category and comes from a place outside the country. The stone was brought back from the trip by Roman Potocki. The stone is in the form of an irregular, partially polished block of marble with an inscription on the other side of TICLA... ILVSFEC? G?... AECO...
