The "Buried Cities" Of Ceylon -- Semicircular 'moonstones' pave the entrances to relic-houses and temples in both Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa; because the Sinhalese go barefoot the stones are scarcely worn. They are carved with sacred geese, lions, elephants and prancing horses; there is always a lotus flower in the centre. Close-up view. July 18, 1942. (Photo by Paul Popper).
