The sign is in front of the grave of Lova Eliav and his wife Tanya Eliav.
"The Land of the Deer" (Eretz Tzvi) whose illustration is on the sign is the name of Lova Eliav’s book in which he detailed his vision for the future of the State of Israel.
The following text appears on the tombstone that was photographed by the same photographer that day:
