Precious Bronze Infant Block Urn

Four inches on every side, a plain metal cube with a bronze finish over the base metal and no ornament on it at all. The lines are square and the top is flat, which is why it sits well in a niche or on a narrow shelf where a shaped urn would not.

It holds 8 cubic inches, an infant capacity: about one cubic inch for each pound of body weight, so a baby up to roughly 8 pounds. Filling is from the base. Because the sides are flat and unbroken, an engraved name reads clearly across the front rather than curving away from you as you look at it.

• 4 x 4 x 4 inches, so it needs very little shelf
• Bronze finish on metal, not solid bronze
• Flat panels suit engraving; add it as a paid option on this page
