A Damaged Carving on a Headstone

A Damaged Carving on a Headstone

This slate, shouldered tablet headstone has suffered some damage. It appears that this headstone was decorated with a winged death's head, but the face of the stone has been damaged. This damage may have been caused by the stone spalling off, along the cleavage of a bedding plane.
