The Common Room / Re: Whats behind the box?

Sorry I can't find a date of death for him.
I've blown the picture up to 5X normal size and I can see some sort of holy picture in the background. I still can't work out what the skull like thing is.
This is driving me mad. ;)

Forgot to mention.
They are not cracks in the plastic, its some sort of cord or string, if you look closely you can see that it comes outside the box, bottom left hand side.

Hi Phil
From one Philip to another.
I hope you are right, I also thought it might be a photograph.
This could be very interesting.
Cheers
Phil

Hi
It's typical of old Irish gravestones, the name is crudely carved. It says James Meenaghan.
What you see is the same the same for me. There is no church there, it's from Pollatomish cemetery in Co. Mayo. The picture is from  http://goldenlangan.com/graves-pt.html
I'm guessing its a plastic box with something eerie looking inside it. One of my English cousins is going over there in October (I'm in Oz), she'll certainly have a look at it if she gets the chance.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Phil

The Common Room / Whats behind the box?

Hi
I wasn't sure which section to post this under but someone might be able to help.
This gravestone belongs to one of my relatives.
Can anyone take a guess at what's behind the box. I've blown the photo up but still can't work it out.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers
Phil

Hi China
I think you are right there appears to be a faint date.
The tick in the corner is mine to let me know I've sent the picture to relatives.
Cheers

I recently found this photo which was sent to us in the 60's by our Grandmother, she always wrote little notes on the back of the photos but this one is blank apart from Gales Studios, branches in all towns. Can any of you fashion experts have a rough guess at the year.
Cheers
