v2.c16.s2.147

"Immediately above the inscription is a terrace sixteen feet by fourteen, on the right side of which (as you face the inscription) is the fore half of an elephant,⁶¹ four feet high, of superior workmanship; the whole is hewn out of the solid rock. There is a groove four inches wide by two in depth round three sides of the terrace, with a space of three feet left (a doorway ?) immediately in front of the elephant; there are also two grooves, one on either side of the elephant on the floor and in the perpendicular face, these must have been intended probably to fix a wooden canopy.
