marble monument
Carved rock tribute
A marble monument is a commemorative structure or sculpture carved from marble, typically erected to honor a person, event, or idea.
Marble has been the preferred material for monuments since antiquity because of its durability, workability, and association with permanence and dignity.
Famous examples include the Lincoln Memorial and countless cemetery headstones.
The marble monument had weathered two centuries of New England winters.
