The broken candles tipped downwards are the symbol of death, of the light of life being extinguished. The eagle, king of the birds, is a symbol of strength and power, and parallel in the depiction of a woman to a lion. The drapery indicates sorrow and mourning. Here lies.

May her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life. Translated by (smages@comcast.net)
