Check out this amazing headstone from Ostbirk Churchyard in Denmark. It memorializes Peder Skram, a now-famous Danish Naval Admiral. He was born around 1500 on his father’s estate, and he went on to have a remarkable career. A famous now-retired Danish warship bares his name. The fact that a headstone still memorializes him speaks to the influence he had on Danish history. Notice the symbolism that points back to his influential family line. His wife’s name, Elsebe Krabbe, is also featured. The gold leafing and the colorful carvings make this stone really stand out from the others in this rural churchyard.
