It is called Ridge Ring, just a worn die issue.

Near the statue is die polishing marks on the bays. There is still part of the false column the bay yet:

Die polishing weakens these and the statue the roof areas and the initials. Very common see this on the polished dies. They were normal when fresh, but now they are showing part of the aging and altered looks that dies receive as they age.
The polishing is to rescue the dies. (Face lift for the dies when they need a little help)
