A bronze urn, aged with a dark green patina, stands on a square base and fluted pedestal. Overlapping leaves texture the lower body, divided by a smooth central band from vertical foliate patterns. A thick, ridged rim tops the vessel. On either side, handles shaped like curved ram horns emerge from bearded faces with pointed ears and small horns. Fine lines and ridges detail the foliage, while light highlights alternating smooth and textured bronze surfaces.
