Pediment on 18th century funerary monument
Scroll Reads 'Arise ye dead and come to judgement!'
Lots of symbolism going on here:
Angel with trumpets= Call to the resurrection.
Skull and Crossbones= Death and mortality.
Hour glass= Passage of time
5 point star= Star of Bethlehem, divine guidance and protection.
