A matching urn-form flower vase stands at each end of the ledge, and carved roses are massed into both front corners beneath her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChild Angel Holding a Pair of Doves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo doves in two hands is four points of contact and every one of them is fragile. Each bird is carved down to the wrist that holds it and left joined there, so the weight goes into the hand rather than into a wing, and the tail feathers are the last stone freed on the whole piece. The roses in the corners are cut proud and undercut so the front of the ledge reads as framed rather than decorated. The marble is a bright white with faint veining in the vases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low ledge sits at child height and reads best where it is come upon rather than seen from a distance: a children section, a family plot, a quiet corner of a churchyard or a memorial garden bed. Both vases take real flowers, so keep the approach to each end clear. Burial authorities are often stricter in children sections, so read their limits before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWording a Low Ledge at Child Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. The ledge is squared and its corners roughed for the roses before the child is begun, because a chisel cannot reach those corners once the figure sits above them. Both doves are carved together so the pair matches, and freed at the very end. The front of the ledge is supplied uncarved and takes a name and dates in a lettering style you choose, or is left plain for a mason near you. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 1,074kg across four pieces, set with a small crane onto a poured concrete foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will find more for a child under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e; sorted by stone they sit as \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-headstones\"\u003emarble headstones\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53830814564699,"sku":"MST-MEM-003","price":20447.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-003_1.jpg?v=1787138996","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/child-angel-with-doves-marble-memorial-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
