A dove holding an olive branch prepares to take flight, its delicate form brought to life through finely sculpted relief. Elegant filigree surrounds the carving, adding an air of grace and serenity.

The parents’ names are inscribed together at the top, with their daughter’s name placed thoughtfully below. An epitaph, written in upright italics, offers a heartfelt tribute below.

The mottled slate, echoing the forest backdrop, was carefully positioned so its natural green streak aligns with the bird’s upward ascent, enhancing the sense of hope and transcendence.
