Main pic is just after giving it a good wash.

https://pic8.co/sh/tDzjXD.jpg Made a stencil by putting masking tape on the stone, the image on the tape, then tracing and removing with a blade until I got this: https://take-me-to.space/AjSmuFEQ.jpeg

Then trace that tape with a Dremel and a tile cutting bit: https://pic8.co/sh/NxHFao.jpg

Looked pretty good, so I made a mess of it with the 4" grinder, in retrospect I should have taken out the 1"... https://www.imgbly.com/ib/OcbokDK28Y.jpeg

Time to move onto cleaning it up with an assortment of hand tools. Chisels, diamond files, regular files, an old paint brush for dust removal, some 80 grit sandpaper for the larger areas. https://pic8.co/sh/lThcDz.jpg

Just a few sections left at this point https://pic8.co/sh/NBeNjW.jpg

All dried up: https://pic8.co/sh/4QFpLx.jpg
