A Pair of Cast Urns with Putti and Lions Faces-France

These urns are a mixture of crushed stone and cement. They have a very charming and unique design. This pair of oval shaped urns in the Louis XVI style,  depicts putti  at either end of the urn peering down into the basin.  The basin is a stylized stone version of a basket with reed and ribbon design around the circumference.  The basket rests upon another larger oval form decorated with a band of olive leaves and lions’ heads at either end.  The putti are seated upon the uppermost point of the lion’s mane.  All this rests upon a central lobed pedestal base.
