Winged monuments, often seen in cemeteries and memorials from the 19th and early 20th centuries, use the motif of wings to express themes of transcendence, protection, and the soul's journey beyond death; carved in stone, bronze, or cast metal, they range from stylized angelic figures to abstracted wings affixed to obelisks and plinths, their upward sweep suggesting ascent and hope while worn surfaces and weathered patina quietly record the passage of time and the persistence of memory.
