Carving in stone presents several challenges, including the hardness and brittleness of the material, which can lead to cracks or chips if not handled carefully. The need for specialized tools and techniques can make the process labor-intensive and time-consuming. Additionally, the weight and bulk of stone can complicate transportation and positioning during the carving process. Finally, achieving fine detail can be difficult, requiring significant skill and experience.
