**Object:** Funerary Cherub (Fragment) **Location:** Cincinnati, OH **Material:** Carved Limestone **Dimensions:** Approx. 0.75m (2.5 ft) height **Date:** Late 19th Century (Inscription partially legible: "1888") **Condition Report:** This statue represents the "Critical Loss" stage of historical preservation. The figure, likely marking the grave of a child, has suffered catastrophic mechanical failure, losing both the head and right arm. The surface is heavily colonized by crustose lichen and moss, which are actively dissolving the stone surface (biological weathering). **Project Relevance:** The American Digital Heritage Project digitized this artifact to document the rate of biological erosion. Without digital intervention, the remaining inscription on the scroll base will likely become illegible within the next decade. This model preserves the current state of the object for future conservation study. **Digitization:** - **Organization:** The American Digital Heritage Project
