This is a 3D scan of a late Victorian air brick in the walls of St Mary's Priory Church in Monmouth, South Wales. It's one of many in the walls, which appear to be carved from a soft stone that has suffered quite a lot over the years. While the scanned air brick was also quite eroded, it was chosen as one that had suffered the least and so can be considered more representative of the original design. The Monmouth Civic Society blue plaque on the church wall nearby, dated 2008, says 'St Mary's Priory Church was dedicated in 1101 by Bernard, Chaplain to Henry I, in the presence of Gwethenoc, the founder, and Abbot William of Saumar in Anjou. The church was rebuilt in 1882, retaining Norman remains and the 14th century tower.' The scan was done using the excellent Sony 3DCreator app on an Xperia XZ2 smartphone, and tidied up using Meshmixer.
