Good choice of subject. The contrast of the dark monument really makes the image.

Nicely done! Lots of interesting things in old cemeteries -- sometimes images, sometimes subjects for contemplation.

'Don't see dates on the stone, so no telling how old it is. What's nice is the sharpness & depth of the relief.

@HiHoSilver Just guessing, but since there is only a last name, perhaps it's the primary marker for a family plot with smaller individual stones for actual burials, thus no date needed. That's not too uncommon. I'm guessing I wouldn't want to spring for four or five of those with all that intricate carving!

I didn't go around to the other side to see if there were any dates...surely somewhere there were. I was captured by the beauty of it and didn't think to check out the dates.

The two markers to the left/right of it may have had the names and dates as they're close together like that one obelisk marker was just a marker for them. I'm not sure-just a guess.

DWT - I'll bet you're right.
