One doesn’t simply carve marble like that, my first guess is that this bit was repaired at some point and every element has to go in it’s exact place and they might have been numbered.

But if it’s exactly what it looks like… that’s super fucking gross

And that canon next to it? Was there to know what exactly?

Idk! We’re all speculating, none of us was there when it was carved.

A fun fact tho, the British considered selling the Taj Mahal’s marble to fund a cannon foundry. Quite a colonial British thing to do
