This crowning palmette (probably placed on the top of the propylon, "sanctuary gate", ca 500 BC) from Aegina is slightly different in shape from it's terracotta counterpart posted a few weeks ago, but the point remains - this is how stone looks after 2000 years compared to terracotta. Notice that the picture is sharp even as the worn stone give you the impression that it is blurry.
