Description:

In the video we can see how one of the few stone craftsman that still exist, Ion Moaca, from Pietroasele, Buzau County, skillfully manages the chisel and the hammer to create unique stone statues. The stone master has a real outdoor statues museum, which calls it "The Stone Age." He carved the stone giving it all sorts of shapes, like animals, birds, people, and every statue has a story that only the stone master saw it in the stone block.

The craftman considers stone carving as a gift received from the God and his predecessors. He likes to work using traditional tools such as chisel and a hammer, just like his predecessors.

The craft was inherited from his father and it will go out with him because he has no apprentices to follow his footsteps.
