Additional Info
Duchowaskaia Lea, daughter of Yaakov.The stone was used as a doorstep in front of a farm house. The landlord was reluctant to part with the stone and asked for 500RMB and nothing less. He stood on the stone and said it belonged to him. Even his daughters and grandaughters that were assisting the project were unable to convince him otherwise. Several calls were made to the family but to no avail. A year later visited the landlord and found that the stone had been hidden in the sheep pen. Eventually the family sold the stone for RMB 100. The landlord has since become an invaluable assistant to the project. The English scription says:"the virgin Lea, daughter of Yaakov"
