Ornate Metal Urn (c.1900)

From Swift Current Museum

Accession Number 1971.1.2

Date 1900

Description Tall ornate urn, handle and spout, covered in relief scroll work and cherubs. Not an actual urn as there is a hole the entire way through, perhaps a candle holder shaped like an urn. Thick welding around neck suggests that this has been mended. Brought from Norway. May have originally been from a church. Has been in donor's family since c.1900. 1971.1.1 is identical, but broken. A cork in the top.
