Gleaming Feather Brass Urn

Feathers are the motif, cut long across the brass so the raised edges take light at a different angle from the ground around them. That means the pattern changes as you walk past it rather than sitting flat, which is a real difference from a printed or transferred design. The urn stands 10.5 inches tall.

Inside it holds 220 cubic inches and opens at the top. At one cubic inch per pound of body weight, that is an adult up to roughly 220 lb. Feather motifs are most often chosen by families who read them as a sign, and by anyone who wants a nature theme without leaves or trees on the metal.

• Raised feather work shifts with the light instead of lying flat
• 220 cu in, sized for an adult up to about 220 lb
• Engraving is a paid add-on; the plain foot band takes text well
