Inscription

Well worn, there appears on the obelisk the faint remains of shaking hands. Appearing around the 1860s, clasped or shaking hands signified devotion and faithfulness. Often used by married couples, the cuffs shown with the hands denote which is the husband's hand and which is the wife's.
