Product Description:
The Apollo Pithos Ceramic Funeral Cremation Urn is made from ceramic by hand one at a time. This particular vessel was inspired by a Greek Pithos ca.650-600 BC from the Carlos Collection of Ancient Art at Emory University. The elegant shape of the body is enhanced by the decorative hand built and carved handles with their window-like cutouts. It is made of porcelain clay and uses a simple glaze. The piece was thrown in two sections and assembled. The lid fits snugly into the the neck and has a small thrown jar for a handle. The amphora-like handles, decorated with carving and fenestration, are hand built additions that give this urn a truly unique appeal.
The urn has two chambers, the lidded box forming the bottom floors and a lidded box that lifts out.
