The urn is raised by a square granite base below the fine socle pedestal with an elegant mottled border. Large richly chased patinated bronze acanthus leaves encase the granite body. Above at the front and back are handsome and finely detailed lion heads holding richly chased swaging berried laurel garlands in their mouths which lead to charming wreath shaped reserves at each side tied by a fine ribbon. Above the elegantly curved neck is the removable lid with a lovely acorn finial and wrap around beaded patinated bronze band.
