Description: Find another one!? The draped urn is one of the many symbols that people have used to represent their views towards death and the immortal spirit. The urn itself represents a classical funeral urn used for cremains. A revived interest in classical Greece led to the prevalence of the draped urn in cemeterysymbolism during the Georgian and Victorian period. The urn was also thought to stand for the fact that we all return to ash, or dust; the state from which God created us. The meaning of the drape on the urn can mean many things to many people. Some feel that it symbolizes the final, impenetrable veil between the living and the dead that awaits us all. To others, it symbolizes the human shedding their mortal body and trappings to join God in Heaven. The drape can also stand for the protective nature of God over the dead and their remains, until the Resurrection occurs. Abandoned to a West Sussex garden for god knows how long , this original 19th century solid white marble example, now cleaned, would make for a fantastic piece of garden ornament. 29/30 inches - 76cm high and extremely heavy this will be collection only.
