Avert Not Thine Eyes

This tombstone is one of the few intact ones in Bida Dari Cemetary. It belonged to a child, whose name had long since been erased by weathering and the passage of time. The unique thing about this tombstone is that the angel mounted upon it had its back turned to face South, instead of towards the North. It was an anomaly, to say the least.
