The image used here of the Susanna Jayne marker from Marblehead is not unusual, I’ve seen other markers there with a skeleton Death, but from my reading\understanding Death is holding the sun and moon, not the earth. One such famous marker in Marblehead was defaced several centuries ago, the moon was chipped off because it was attributed to witchcraft.
