Thanking Darryl Skip MacUaid McQuate, a member of Preserving Ohio's Cemetery on Facebook, for sharing this photo and granting permission to share it here.
A lively discussion has arisen over the name and purpose of this metal, likely ironwork, piece Darryl has found at the London Cemetery in Richland County, Ohio.
Thus far, the general consensus is that this item can just be called a "decorative metal piece to go around a grave."
At this point, it is not known who designed and/or constructed it. Nor is it known whose gravesite it was meant for, or a more appropriate name for it that would fit its specific purpose if other than being decorative alone.
