A large formal headstone in silk-finished slate; the lettering quite severe and compressed, but gently softened at the corners so that it’s both disciplined and feminine. The surrounding bead-moulding also adds to that mix of roundness and formality. I was particularly pleased with the central but asymetrical doves. They are caught at the point of their “liberation”: down-gazing but up-flying.
