A memorial stone is a type of commemoration in which the main role is played by a stone block, often pre-worked, having traces of being obtained in a quarry, or an erratic boulder set on a pedestal. Memorial stones are enriched with a textual layer by engraving inscriptions or placing plaques, usually made of stone or metal, with a dedicatory inscription.
The commemorative stone made of white marble has the inscription: "22 Penthievre", and it is exhibited in the Museum-Castle in Łańcut. It comes from the collection of the Potocki family. It belongs to the second category and comes from a place outside the country. The stone was brought back from the trip by Roman Potocki. The stone has the form of an irregular, partially polished block of marble.
