Stake attention in this memory
This is a close-up, eye-level shot of a weathered, roughly rectangular stone slab, likely a gravestone or monument, displayed indoors against a plain white wall. The stone is a light gray with visible pitting and discoloration, suggesting significant age. Carved into its surface are inscriptions and a circular emblem. The inscription at the top reads, in capital letters, "CHRISTVS IST MEIN LEBEN STERBEN IST MEIN GEWIN". Below this, also in capitals, is "NICLAUS BRAUNSCH WEIG UND SEINEN ERBLIG". To the right of this line, the letters "JZ9" are carved. In the center of the stone is a circular emblem, also carved. Within this circle are symbols that appear to be tools: a compass, a square, a hammer, and another crossed tool, possibly a chisel or awl. Below the emblem, the date "1726" is prominently carved. Further down, there are more faint, illegible carved lines. Two small black brackets are attached to the left and right edges of the stone, likely for mounting or display. The stone is located in the St. Peter's Church Museum in Riga, Latvia.
