\ [Term of Patent 7 years.]

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES MORGAN, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a Design for a Monument, of which the following is a speci fication:

The nature of my design is fully shown in the accompanying drawing, to which reference is made.

The design relates toa monument for graves; and consists of base stones or steps, carrying an obeliskshaped shaft with ornamental base and top, as will be more fully described.

In the drawing, A represents the base of the monument, and B the shaft, in the shape of an obelisk. The base A is formed of three base stones or steps, a b d, which decrease in Width, but increase in height, and of intermediate tapering parts. a b d, of proportionate size.

The uppermost tapering part dkforms the support of the ornamental base 0 of the shaft, the base being constituted of a convex molding, 6, narrow steps 0 concave molding a, square intermediate e", having suitable ornaments, projecting step e, convex molding c and narrow step e, as shown in the draw- 111g.

The shaft B rises from the base 0, tapering toward the upper end, which has top ridges f, an ornamented band, f, at suitable distance below the top, and a fitting ornament between the same and the top ridge.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A design for a monument, consisting of three steps, a b d, increasing in height, but decreasing in width, each surmounted by a taper of corresponding height and width, while the highest taper sustains an ornamental base, 0, substantially as shown and described.
