Description

This description is for a pair of identical garden urns located to the north and south of The Doric Temple. They were likely made in the 18th century or early 19th century and are crafted from limestone. Each urn stands on a square base that features a moulded plinth and top. The urns have a square base and a moulded pedestal adorned with a leaf motif around the lower half. The upper section is decorated with scroll designs, and the rim features a fret design. These urns are included for their group value.
