canted, smoothed and inscribed panels in front of which stands
a larger than life size sculptured adolescent angel of
considerable quality, depicted prior to her sounding of the
Last Trump. The angel, clad in a simple but clinging and
body-revealing garment, stands resting on the right foot with

resting lightly on the shoulder, the right holding a long
trumpet with the forefinger resting on the mouthpiece.
Ringlets secured by a headband frame a face of considerable
character; large wings curve forward framing the body.
