Old stone above door with clear inscription. You can clearly see how they dug the letters hundreds of years ago.

Teodora Ionescu You can see the letters well.
Максим Воробьёв Yes, the letters are well engraved, they are clearly visible even after all these years.
Максим Шевченко The letters look deeply dug, as if with a thick mason's chisel. In that area of ​​Maramureș, craftsmen often used hard river stone, that's why they lasted so long.
Radu Tudor Yes, the chisel left straight marks, the craftsman feels. In Maramureș, river stone was often brought from Someș, that's why it holds moisture so well.
გელა გელაშვილი You can see how the stone above the door has a fine diagonal crack, exactly where the moss collected.
Олег Васильев Yes, that crack is clearly visible.
Gregory Mitchell The crack shows up sharp in that photo.
Трајче Ристески Where exactly was the photo taken and when? The letters are really clear, but I'm interested in the place.
Петя Костова The letters are very clear, the man with the chisel was not kidding. Where exactly is the photo and when did you take it?
Petar Popović Yes, the letters come out clearly in the picture. I'd like to see the rest of the house or what's around the door.
Ivana Savić Yes, the letters are clear, but I also noticed how the brick on the wall to the left of the door is unevenly laid, with wider joints at the bottom.
Michał Kaczmarek Yes, the letters come out clearly. I would also like to see pictures of the whole door and what is above it.
Анна Мельник The letters are deep, but I noticed how the stone above the threshold is worn right in the middle, as if from many steps.
Pablo Romero Yes, the letters come out clearly. I once read that in Maramureș the craftsmen sometimes marked the stone with their initials on the bottom edge, so that it would be known who worked on it. I'd like to see if there's anything down there in the picture.
Bogdan Rusu You can see the letters well, even their sharp edges. Please let me know what time Sunday services start there and if anyone can come in to see the stone up close.
Дарья Морозова Yes, the letters are deep. What time is service on Sunday?
Іван Коваль The lettering is deep, but the door appears to be 18th century as the stone is set into the wall. It can be seen that they used thick mortar to fix it well.
Petar Nikolić Yes, the letters come out clearly, but you can see that the stone above the door is caught in a frame made of thick oak wood, typical for Maramuresi houses from the end of the 17th century.
Alejandro Romero The letters are really deep and clean. In Maramureș, stone from the quarries near Sighet was sometimes used, which had a fine grain and did not crumble easily in water.
Νίκη Χατζή You can see the letters well, but also how the stone has darkened a little at the top from the smoke from the stove. What time can I come in on Sunday to see it up close?
