Bas-relief headstone

Luray, Virginia

The likeness of a rather pleasant looking gentleman, presumably the deceased, is carved in bas-relief on this otherwise unpretentious headstone in the Green Hill Cemetery in Luray. I have never seen a tombstone quite like it and I have visited a lot of graveyards with my wife as she researches the history and genealogy of the Civil War era (her website is here.)
