This image displays a vertical, light-grey stone slab, likely a funerary monument or memorial plaque, featuring a carved bas-relief and inscriptions. This artifact is located in Strasbourg, France. The central carving depicts a full-length human figure presented frontally. The figure wears a long, draped garment consistent with a monastic habit, including a cowl covering the head and shoulders, with a circular tonsure-like element on the head. Facial features are simple and stylized. The figure's left hand (viewer's right) holds an object with a prominent Tau cross, surmounted by the letters "IHS" below a stylized crown. The figure's right hand (viewer's left) holds a small, stylized lamb carrying a banner, representing the Agnus Dei. Inscriptions are present around the figure. Along the top edge, fragmented letters read "TNO DNI CCC". Above the figure's left shoulder (viewer's right) is a circular inscription "IN XPO". Above the figure's right shoulder (viewer's left) is another circular inscription "LV". A vertical border on the right side of the slab contains a column of carved capital letters, partially visible, including "L XIX K Z V T I R C H". The stone surface exhibits texture, minor chipping, and general wear consistent with age. The slab is positioned against a darker, indistinct background, indicating an interior or sheltered location.
