Be that as it may it did contain one rather interesting "Tree Shaped Tombstone", of a type I had not seen before.
From the front view it is a rather average looking specimen, perhaps a little on the stocky side.
The sentiments on the side are peacefull.
The really peculiar thing was this curvy branch. It looks like a tea kettle spout.
Years into my hunt for these monuments and I still am regularly finding new versions.

Perhaps the indentation was meant to hold a picture of the deceased? Especially since it is directly above the name.
Alternative: a place to leave flowers.
Perhaps. The picture holders are uncommon, see my post a few weeks back about their incidence in Bohemian cemeteries. Seems a shallow niche for flowers but maybe. I need to find some contemporary sources on the matter.
