<br />
The figure of a bear at the top of the monument alludes to the deceased's name: Dov (Hebrew), Ber (Yiddish)— a bear. <br />
The crown that the bear holds in its paws symbolizes the piety and decency of the deceased (per Pirke Avot 4:13: “Rabbi Shimon would say: There are three crowns—the crown of Torah, the crown of priesthood and the crown of sovereignty—but the crown of good name surmounts them all”).<br />
