Next to the gravestone is a cast-iron cross (18d/137), which is stylistically connected with the gravestone, also the preserved mounting element indicates the placement of the cross rather than the figure in the finial

State of preservation:

corrosion, mosses, lichens, cavities, non-maintained finial

statue missing or cross broken (preserved, next to plinth)
