Any ideas as to what this may be from? Approx size 48 inches x 12 inches." Let me know if you have any ideas.

Robert, can the finder detail the cut wording style on the stone, such as historical or resembling modern letters? At the moment it could proove interesting in a historical and other ways. Azzabuv.
