For whatever reason, I am looking more at lambs lately when I visit cemeteries.
Lambs are always sad for me, as they are a commonly accepted symbol of a child’s grave in American culture.
But even in the most well-maintained cemetery, you will find lambs like these. There is something about the particular shape of lambs (and probably the materials they are carved from) that makes them very susceptible to damage.
In my walk of Harvard Grove, that covered about 1/3 of the graves, I didn’t find a single intact lamb sculpture.
