Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: 18th century gravestone in the kirkyard of St Fergus When my wife was a child she thought that these symbols represented the graves of pirates. They are in fact symbols designed to remind us of our own mortality. On this gravestone the symbols are the hour glass indicating the rapid passage of time, the skull and crossed femurs, the mort bell to be rung at our own passing and the crossed sexton's tools that will be used to dig our own lair (grave). |
