Many gravestones contain adornments of a smaller scale. These shapes
are the perfect size for accessories. We've created a fun line of
magnets from these images. Let us choose the color. Your fridge will
thank you! Due to their size, these items are all hand pressed, so please
allow for variations in shape and thickness. Many of the Magnets can
also be found in our Pendants offerings.

Smilin' Issac
A prime example of primitive New England folk art, this skull was
carved for the gravestone of John Fuller in 1717. Who could pass by
this image without thinking about their own mortality? We have cast
just the skull portion of the image, without its wings, as it has
plenty of impact all by itself. This is what you think of when you
envision old gravestones! Mr. Fuller died on February 25, 1717 and is
buried in the East Parish Burial Ground of Newton Centre,
Massachusetts. Item#: 0032
Dimension: 3.5" dia.
Price: $5.50

Cute as a Button
As much as we tried to resist, we couldn't help giving this little
fellow his silly name—because he truly is!!! This tiny winged skull is
an element from the gravestone of William Button of Jersey (England,
that is) who died the 19th day of October 1693. His heavily ornamented
stone is located in the 1671 Burial Ground in Strawberry Banke
(Portsmouth), New Hampshire. Item#: 0045
Dimension: 3/4" H x 3" L
Price: $5.50

John's Dead Head
Here's someone who will call attention to your fridge! Meet Mr. John
Fuller, a gentleman interred in East Parish Burial Ground, Newton
Centre, Massachusetts in 1717. The carver of his stone fully
exaggerated this "death head", making it bulbous and embellished with
one curly, extravagant eyebrow. The head shape and hooked unibrow are
clues this carver's inspiration might have been "The Old Stonecutter",
an important Boston carver who worked circa 1650-1695 and influenced
many gravestone carvers who followed. Item#: 0046
Dimension: 3 1/4" H x 3 1/4" L
Price: $6.00

Susannah Urn
The urn is meant to carry the body to the next world, literally through cremation and figuratively by the biblical passage "Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust".

This small urn decorates the gravestone of Mrs. Susannah Peckham who dies in 1813 and is buried in Blackstone, Massachusetts. Also available as a casting.
Item#: 0035
Dimension: 4.25" H x 2.25" W
Price: $8.00
