I have, like you, never seen a portrait of such a little child before, but I must say I like it (even though that doesn't sound like the right word to use for a gravestone, but still.....)

Of course she could have died due to an accident. Gravestone ceramics are rare in the UK, I guess our climate isn't the best to preserve them. But there are a few, some of them of babies post mortum. I guess it was another comfort for loved ones to be able to 'see' their deceased when they visited the grave.<br /><br />Herding CatsSeaThreePeeOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639732349402996973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-63011487775935464782012-05-15T05:15:01.862-07:002012-05-15T05:15:01.862-07:00a prayer for little Lucrezia that she died so youn...a prayer for little Lucrezia that she died so young!!Elettrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231101565706675175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695780350753151930.post-67416690462253651512012-05-15T02:15:41.829-07:002012-05-15T02:15:41.829-07:00I was just going to comment on the fresh flowers t...I was just going to comment on the fresh flowers then noticed the previous comment by Francisca referred to my question too!
