Two compartments (below a Latin inscription), present figures, incised, in the style of Holbein's Dances of Death. These are described by the Rev. Mr Hay as follows:

"In the compartment on the right are two figures, a male and female, evidently, by the dress of the male figure, intended to represent John Rait and his wife. Death, in the usual form of a skeleton armed with a dart, is forcing his way between the two, and pushing them asunder. This compartment or panel, bears these inscriptions: below “Congugium carnale” (the carnal marriage), above, “In morte dividimur” (in death we are divided.)

The other compartment has the same two figures, representing the same persons; but in

addition to the gown and bands which distinguish the minister as in the above panel, he and his

wife are both now represented with wings indicating that they have attained the spiritual state, and are trampling Death, the same figure that was thrusting them asunder before, under foot. This panel has the inscription below, “Conjugium geternum” (the spiritual and eternal marriage), and above, “Omnia vincit mors Christi' (the death of Christ vanquishes all.)

Between the two panels, crosswise, is inscribed,'Quis mihidabitpennascolumbse?' (Who

will give me the wings of a dove ?)" Across the width of the stone, under both panels, is inscribed the same motto which appears upon a tombstone at Dun.
