WHAT DOES STELA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

stela

Stele

A stele or stela is a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide, erected as a monument, very often for funerary or commemorative purposes. Stelae may be used for government notices or as territorial markers to mark borders or delineate land ownership. They very often have texts and may have decoration, which may be inscribed, carved in relief, or painted onto the slab. Traditional Western gravestones are technically stelae, but are very rarely described by the term.
