full stone tympanum

Mrs PATIENCE ELDRIDGE
widow of
Mr BARNABAS ELDRIDGE
who died
June 29, 1832
in the 92d year

A good winged head by Nathaniel Holmes of Barnstable. Note the flower decoration in the tympanum. It is unusual to find a winged head this late in the 1800's when gravestone style had changed to the urn and willow motif.
