Stone Condition:

poor; the stone is fragmented and the surface is extremely worn

Conservation:

The stone fragment was extracted along with about two dozen others in April 2014 from under a garden on vul. Ivan Franko in central Rohatyn, where others had been removed in a prior year. The excavation was arranged by Mykhailo Vorobets and carried out by Rohatyn city workers. The stones were first moved to the vodokanal facility in the north part of Rohatyn, where they were viewed and photographed by RJH in July. Mr. Vorobets later arranged to have the stones moved to the old Jewish cemetery in spring 2015.

Other Notes:

Although there are two or three Hebrew letters shin visible, plus a few other partial letters, it is not clear that this stone was ever a grave marker; it is possible that this was a kind of 'practice stone' for the stone carver.
