Description
This is a pedestal tomb located in the churchyard, approximately 5 meters southeast of the porch to the Church of St. Andrew, and it dates back to 1700. The tomb is made of limestone and has a rectangular shape with corner balusters and bow ends. Each bow end features carvings: on the east side, there is a serpent of eternity with fronds and an open book above a winged hourglass, while the west side displays three cherub's heads. The sides of the tomb have Rococo anthropomorphic inscription panels, with some inscriptions still faintly visible on the north side. The top of the tomb is cyma moulded, and it rests on a plain plinth. The only clearly legible date on the inscription is from 1700, making this a fine example of an early Rococo tomb.
