Purple Mother of Pearl Urn

Purple inlay runs the full height of this urn, laid over a brass shell in small pieces of mother of pearl that catch the light at different angles. The colour sits between plum and violet and looks different by lamplight than by daylight. Body and lid are both faced the same way.

The urn measures 6 inches across and 10.5 inches tall and holds 220 cubic inches, which suits an adult who weighed up to roughly 220 pounds. It opens at the top, so filling is done upright on a table. It is meant to live indoors, on a mantel or in a lit niche, rather than be buried, since burial hides the surface that makes it worth choosing.
