Description

3 separate parts:  base, boat, and lid.

height 4-3/4″ x length 13″ x width 3-1/4″

interior volume approx. 6 tablespoons

This little vessel evokes the feeling of Egyptian faience—copper-blue ceramic sculpture.  The Egyptians often placed miniature boats in tombs, to help the departed in their afterworld voyage.  It sits freely in a stand symbolizing the waters through which the soul will journey.  Like all the pieces in this collection, it is a one-of-a-kind artwork.

The boat can hold approximately 6 tablespoons of cremains. You can use it as a reliquary (memorial urn) for keeping a small, precious quantity of  ashes after the rest have been scattered or divided. Alternatively, it could be used for holding a special keepsake.
