Description
silver, with hand painted female displays. The silver has a gentle damascene pattern that reflects through the translucent blue enamel.

The urn is attached to a small octagon of white marble as a base. In viewing the top, realize that each cameo is only about 1 inch high, and is hand painted with fine detail.
