A sixty-foot marble obelisk memorial to the Confederate Dead in the most centrally located area of Oakland cemetery, an eighty-eight acre space of beauty and serenity in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia.
The proud, mortally wounded lion is lying down, signifying defeat in battle. In his paw, he clutches a fallen battle flag, and he seems to be pulling his beloved banner toward him.
This area, that began its transformation in 1866 by the Atlanta Ladies Memorial Association, is the final resting place of approximately 7,000 Confederate soldiers, of which about 3,000 are unknown.
The foundation of Stone Mountain granite was laid in 1870, on the day of the funeral of Robert E. Lee.

Second place in the "Cemetery Sculpture" contest sponsored by "Cemeteries And Graveyards" group 10/26/2021.
