A rectangular marble tomb slab with an oval removable cover at its center. The oval frames a collection of artist's tools like pencils, paint brushes, straight edges, squares and an inscription that reads: FLOREAT SEMPER VEL INVITA MORTE.
We have been having fun with this tomb and its inscription today. May it [art and design] always flourish in spite of death!
