A deep bank of carved roses is massed beneath her body along the length of the slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAngel Lying Full Length Across a Ledger\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth arms reach out over the front edge of the ledger with nothing beneath them, which makes them the thinnest and most exposed stone on the piece, and they are cut last when the body that anchors them is finished and settled. The bank of roses under her is not decoration: it carries the weight of the torso down into the slab, and it is roughed out as one mass before any bloom is separated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA prostrate figure reads downward, so it belongs where it is looked at from above rather than approached head on: a lawn plot, a cremation plot, a memorial garden, or beside an existing upright on a family grave. It sits low and wide, so give it the width of a full plot. Ask the burial ground what it allows on ledger cover before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Flat Ledger and the Whole Face Blank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. The rose bank is roughed as one mass and the body laid over it before either is finished, because the roses carry the torso and a bloom separated too early would be carrying the torso on its own stem. The outstretched arms are the very last stone cut. The ledger is the largest plain face on the piece, arrives entirely blank, and takes your own wording in the lettering you choose. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 622kg in one piece, set by two people and bedded onto a prepared concrete pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther ledger memorials appear in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, with the marble under \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\u003e100cm\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":53830050185563,"sku":"MST-MEM-037","price":12658.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-037_1.jpg?v=1787135485","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/prostrate-angel-on-a-ledger-marble-memorial-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
