Sad Angel

Another shot taken from the Cemetery that we visited today. I had never seen a gravestone like this and it was live-size.
I did not know her but RIP Mary, aged just 42.

It's a beautiful statue. It does look very large for a headstone.

Nice shot. Did you notice what year Mary died? I'm wondering if the angel is in an Art Nouveau style.

[bernadette mcelligott]

Beautiful headstone. RIP Mary.

[Michelle Gaynor]

Wow she is beautiful, nice find.

[Vicki Dixon]

some people go all out to mark the grave. very touching shot and I am sure it was a great comfort to the family of Mary age 42

Thank you everyone, it was such a lovely statue and almost hidden away? I will try and get back there another day and take some more shots...
PS, I think it was 1933 when she passed away, I will check when I next go there Alison.

@gphelps5 Thank you, Graham, it would be interesting to know, the angel is so distinctive. Course, it could be the artist has copied an earlier style. Either way, it's a beautiful piece of work.
