stone angels
Carved granite sentinels
Stone angels are statues of angels carved from stone, typically found in cemeteries, churches, and memorial gardens.
They serve as grave markers, monuments to the dead, or architectural ornaments.
The phrase evokes permanence and mourning—angels frozen in attitudes of prayer, grief, or protection: Stone angels watched over the old cemetery.
