Scope note
Posts used to mark the location of a grave and in commemoration of the deceased; known in many cultures. They were originally made of a single timber, often decorated with totemic emblems or other iconography. Grave posts may also be made of materials other than wood, but in form resemble the tall, verticality of a tree trunk.
