Summary
editDescriptionThe Tree-Stump Obelisk in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indiana.jpg |
English: The tree-stump-shaped family obelisk in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Indiana, is a unique example of folk art that reflects the family's history and deep Catholic beliefs. These obelisks, which can be found in graveyards across the country, represent a departure from earlier grand mausoleums and obelisks and reflect a changing focus on life and nature rather than death and eternity, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The obelisk's limestone construction serves as a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of Indiana's limestone industry.
The obelisk and surrounding graves are also a reflection of the importance of family, faith, and community in Indiana, with burial practices emphasizing the deceased's life and the people left behind. The tree-stump shape of the obelisk, as well as the carved motifs of chained anchors, crosses, birds, and plants, add to its folk art appeal and serve as a barrier to the family's history and belief. These motifs are commonly found on tree-stump obelisks and reflect the unique folklore surrounding death and burial practices in Indiana. Overall, this tree-stump obelisk and the graves surrounding it are a fascinating reflection of Indiana's cultural and artistic heritage, as well as the state's unique death and burial practices.中文:这座位于印第安纳州印第安纳波利斯的皇冠山公墓中的树桩形家族墓碑是民间艺术的一个独特例子,反映了家族的历史和深厚的天主教信仰。这些树桩形墓碑可以在美国各地的墓地中找到,与早期的盛大陵墓和方尖碑相比,它们反映了丧葬习俗从强调死亡和永恒向关注生命和自然的转变,这在19世纪末和20世纪初很流行。此处及周边的大量墓碑采用石灰石建造,也证明了印第安纳的石灰石工业的艺术和文化重要性。
方尖碑和周围的墓地也反映了印第安纳州家庭、信仰和社区的重要性,葬礼习俗强调已故人士的生命和留下的人。方尖碑的树桩形状,以及被锁链拴住的锚、十字架、鸟和植物等雕刻图案,增添了它的民间艺术吸引力,也代表着家族历史和信仰的屏障。这些图案常常出现在树桩形方尖碑上,反映了印第安纳独特的围绕死亡和葬礼习俗的民间传说。 总之,这个树桩形方尖碑和周围的墓地是印第安纳州文化和艺术遗产的有趣反映,也展示了该州独特的死亡和葬礼习俗。
