The photograph captures the beauty and detail of each carving with precision. From delicate floral patterns to mythical creatures and heraldic symbols, every inch of this second-floor Keep is adorned with historical significance. These carvings not only served an aesthetic purpose but also acted as visual storytelling devices, depicting tales from ancient folklore or commemorating important events.
