Description
This is a funerary monument commemorating an unknown person, dating from around 1850. It is made of Portland stone and features a square block with an arched recess on each side, adorned with opposing scrolled volutes. Each recess contains a relief depicting a grieving woman beside a sarcophagus or a draped sarcophagus. The upper square section has a shallow pediment on each face with antefixes and is topped with a draped urn. This monument is an unusually rich example of a Neo-classical outdoor memorial and stands out due to its unique design. It is part of a group of notable memorials located near the entrance of the cemetery.
