incised slab. Slab of stone with a design cut into its surface, commonly a funerary monument featuring human figures representing effigies, inscriptions, emblems, etc., the incised work often enhanced with black or coloured filling. A variation is a more comprehensive series of indents filled with brass or latten sheets cut to fit and themselves incised and inlaid.
