Hinterland’s Writing on the Wall

Imagine stumbling upon a tombstone where moss has taken up residence inside the engraved letters, creating a semi-legible, green-tinged essay. Now lying on the ground, this fallen tombstone has provided the perfect canvas for nature’s slow, steady hand. Removing moss from such delicate engravings can be done with gentle scrubbing using a soft brush.

A mixture of water and mild detergent provides a pristine finish. Interestingly, when it comes to inscribing tombstones, a chisel and hammer or modern laser engraving are the best tools. This mossy takeover adds a touch as if nature decided to add commentary to the stone’s solemn message.
