Large stone in the corner, often with a few words or a date chiseled into it so that we will know who put it there and when.

It is a stone used in a corner of a building during construction, often a different color or embossed with a placque. It has a hollow inside where tributes, memories of the time, small symbols, etc. are placed most often in a waterproof container for preservation. Years later the cornerstone is opened to memorialize the time when the building was built. I have placed items in a couple of cornerstones.
