In the first half of the nineteenth century, cast iron tombstones, plaques, and crosses also became a common feature in cemeteries across Slovenia. Cemetery crosses, sometimes also made of cast iron themselves, often had a cast iron Corpus of the Crucified Christ affixed to them. The article focuses on such products from the Salm Iron Foundry and its successors in Blansko, Moravia—specifically on the castings of the Corpus of the Crucified Christ designed by the Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik von Fernkorn and on four tombstones.
