This is a Victorian gravestone in Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington. There's something boldly complacent about the 'satisfied' in an age where religious belief held much greater weight than today  as if one's deity has passed muster after being critically assessed. In this same cemetery there are also later gravestones with images of cars and bicycles on them. I like to think these items were highly valued by the individual buried in the grave, rather than what ran them over and killed them.
