Cherubs

Angelic

These Angels were sent to guard the way of the tree of life. 

The name comes from the Assyrian or Akkadian word Karibu, meaning "one who intercedes".

Originally they were depicted as the bearers of God's throne, as the charioteers, and as powerful beings with four wings and four faces.

In the cemetery they are often seen on monuments for children.
