A moulded sub-base sits below it over a rock-faced plinth, with a circular flower socket cut into the left of the sub-base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSleeping Infant Cradled in a Carved Wing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wing is what holds the composition together and it is cut shallower than the infant it cradles, so the child reads forward and the feathers fall back without either being outlined. The whole surface is then worked to an even grey stipple, which softens the relief and is why the piece looks weathered from new. The scrolled shoulders are cut before the relief, working from the outside in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad low tablet is read square on, which suits a children lawn, a small single plot, a cremation section or a bed of remembrance. The socket in the sub-base takes a single flower holder, so leave the left side reachable. The rock-faced plinth needs a level bed under its full width. Check the burial ground rules on shaped tops before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Broad Face and a Flower Socket\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. The tablet is shaped and the shoulders cut before the relief is begun, and the plinth is pitched last so flying chips never reach a finished face. The broad face below the relief is the largest clear area on the piece, reaches you uncut, and takes a name and dates worked to order, or stays plain. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 1,074kg across three pieces, lifted with a gantry and bedded on a poured concrete foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelief child memorials are indexed at \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, and by stone at \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":53830927188315,"sku":"MST-MEM-047","price":20447.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-047_1.jpg?v=1787139577","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/sleeping-infant-relief-grey-stone-memorial-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
