A lily and rose spray is engraved into the upper face below, and the tablet stands on a rock-faced base slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSleeping Lamb Carved on the Stone Cap\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lamb is carved in the round from stone left standing proud of the cap, so it is part of the tablet rather than fixed to it, and the join at the belly is the thinnest section in the piece. Grey granite is coarse enough that fine wool texture would disappear, so the fleece is cut as broad rolling masses that read from a distance instead. The spray below is engraved and blacked rather than carved, which keeps the face flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lamb marks a child grave and sits low. It belongs in a children section or on a small lawn plot, and works equally on a cremation plot or in a bed of remembrance. The engraved spray shows best in raking light, so a position that catches morning or evening sun reads better than one in permanent shade. Children sections often carry their own limits, so check with the burial ground first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Engraved Spray and a Blank Face\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven weeks. The tablet is sawn with the lamb left as a solid block on the cap, and the figure is carved out of that block once the face below is finished, because a finished lamb would be at risk from every later stage. The spray is engraved last. The tablet face arrives blank; a name and dates go on to order in whatever style suits you, or it is left bare for a mason locally. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. Around 827kg in two pieces, set with a small gantry onto a poured concrete foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther child headstones appear in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/headstones-memorials\"\u003eheadstones and memorials\u003c\/a\u003e, and the granite under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/granite-headstones\"\u003egranite 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\u003e110cm\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 Granite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53830819021147,"sku":"MST-MEM-048","price":9945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-MEM-048_1.jpg?v=1787139010","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/sleeping-lamb-on-a-grey-granite-headstone-110cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
