Otis Lane Gravestone Shelf
This stoneware wall shelf features a rubbing of a cherub from the gravestone of infant Otis Lane (d. 1803) at the Old Burial Ground in Sturbridge, MA. Often depicted as a chubby-cheeked infant with wings, the cherub symbolized love, protection, and divine intervention. It evolved from the death's head imagery and came to represent spiritual resurrection.
This piece is handbuilt from speckled stoneware clay, fired raw (unglazed) for a textured and earthy appearance. Measuring approximately 8” wide, 4.5” tall, and 3.5” deep, it is the perfect size to use as a small altar or sconce for a tealight candle. It comes with a faux leather cord as well as a pre-drilled hole for hanging.
