Margaret Winniett - 1729
Garrison Burial Grounds
Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia
Material: Slate
Decorative motif: Winged head or soul effigy.
*notes* the depiction of the head on stones of this period tends toward a skull rather than an angel. This stone has been capped with lead to prevent water from getting between the layers and flaking off the design when it freezes.
