Mrs. Margaret Cowdin

Jan 1, 1738 – Jan 25, 1792

ERECTED In Memory of Mrs. Margaret Cowdin wife of Mr. Samuel Cowdin, who departed this life Jan_ry 25th 1792 in the 54th Year of her Age.

Border: There is a two line medium width border from over the tympanum that also surrounds the side panels and the tablet section. On the inside of the side panels and the outer edge of the tablet, those lines are engraved. There is a fan shaped but in the tympanum

Remark: The tympanum artwork is very in your face. The arch beneath the upper border and above the winged face, is engraved with Memento Mori and a serrated edging along the top. Her face has her hair pulled back, eyes very direct, large nose, emotionless mouth. The work on the head is later generation work with better realism. The wings are the simpler to cut tab type. The upper portion of the tympanum is further highlighted by a fan shaped cut in the tympanum which the figured finely fits. Below the fan cut, there is a bi-radial mirror imaged plant design.
