The image depicts an old gravestone with elaborate carvings. The text in the center reads: "HERE LYETH BURIED YE BODY OF MR TIMOTHY LINDALL AGED 56 YEARS & 7 Mo DECEASED JANUARY ye 6 1698/9." The gravestone is segmented into three parts. The central section features the inscription describing the deceased. Above the inscription is a carving of an angelic face with wings, and the words "IN SANCTORUM MEMORIA SIT BEATA REQ[T]S" can be seen across the top. The left segment of the gravestone displays a skeletal figure, a traditional symbol of mortality. The right segment shows an angel with a large pair of wings and holding a staff or rod, symbolizing guardian or escort to the afterlife. The overall tone and style of the gravestone are reminiscent of classical 17th-century New England cemetery art, reflecting themes of death, remembrance, and the afterlife. This gravestone likely belongs to a significant figure, Mr. Timothy Lindall, who was around 56 years and 7 months old at the time of his death in early January 1698/9.

The image depicts a photograph of a historical gravestone with elaborate designs and text. The central part of the gravestone features an arch-shaped inscription area flanked by two equally arched panels with carved images. On the inscription panel, the text reads: "SANCTORUM MEMORIA (in smaller lettering at the top) HERE LYETH BURIED y^e BODY OF M^r TIMOTHY LINDALL AGED 56 YEARS & 7 M^o DECEASED JANUARY y^e 6 1698" The text uses archaic spellings and abbreviations common in the late 17th century, such as "y^e" for "the" and "M^o" for "months." To the left of the text, there is a skeletal figure, representing death, standing upright in a shroud with hands crossed at the waist. The skeleton is very detailed, showing the bones distinctly. On the right side of the inscription, there's an engraved image of a winged hourglass at the top, representing the swift passage of time and the brevity of life. Below the hourglass stands an armored figure, possibly depicting a soldier or a representation of the deceased's social status or profession. This figure also carries an emblem or shield with a symbol on it, indicative of family heraldry or personal significance. Overall, the designs common to this style of gravestone artwork convey messages about mortality, the fleeting nature of life, and the social identity of the person buried beneath it. The image of the gravestone is sepia-toned, suggesting it is either a photograph of an aged stone or has been color-adjusted to give it an antique look.

This is a historical gravestone or tomb marker from 1698. It features a classic colonial American death's head (winged angel) design at the top, and contains carved images on both sides - a skeleton on the left and a figure holding a scythe (likely representing Death or Father Time) on the right. The central inscription reads "HERE LYETH BURIED YE BODY OF MR TIMOTHY LINDALL AGED 56 YEARS & 7 MO DECEASED JANUARY YE 6 1698."

The carving demonstrates the typical memento mori symbolism common in Puritan gravestone design of that era.

The image depicts a vintage-style tombstone engraving, featuring a sepulchral monument with an arched top and a central inscription. The engraving is rendered in a monochromatic sepia tone, giving it an aged and historical appearance. The central inscription reads, "HERE LYETH BURIED Y BODY OF MR TIMOTHY LINDALL AGED 56 YEARS & 7 M° DECEASED JANUARY Y 6 I 6 9 8 9." Flanking the central inscription are two figures: a skeleton on the left and an angel on the right. The skeleton is depicted in a standing posture, while the angel is shown with wings, holding a harp, and wearing a long, flowing garment. The angel's face is partially obscured by the harp, and the skeleton's bones are intricately detailed. The background is plain and neutral, allowing the focus to remain on the engraving and its symbolic elements.
