Maple Leaf Heart Matte Brass Keepsake

Matte brass gives this maple leaf heart a soft, non-reflective surface, which shows the leaf relief more clearly than a polished finish does. It measures three and a half inches square, slightly larger than the polished version of the same design. Filling happens through the bottom.

Capacity is five cubic inches: a share of the ashes, not the whole. Matte surfaces do not show fingerprints, which makes this a practical choice for a piece that gets picked up often rather than left on a high shelf out of reach. It stands upright without a base.

• Never use metal polish on it, which will burnish the matte surface shiny
• Bottom plug with a washer, so it can be topped up or emptied again later
• Half an inch wider than the polished maple leaf heart, at three and a half inches
