Salzmann's mastery in capturing intricate details is evident as he presents us with a stunning visual narrative. The delicate decorative elements adorning the stone frieze are beautifully highlighted against the stark contrast of black and white tones. Each intricately carved motif tells a story, evoking a sense of wonder about the lives that once inhabited this sacred space.
