The splendid and rare urn offered here
is a marvel of artistic and delicate
rendering. Rising from a  molded socle
on a circular tiered base, halmarks
of Clodion's techniques masterfully
 achieved as seen in
the fine modeling of the relief body
with delicate incising of the cupids
amidst grape clusters. Imaginative in
its beauty and design, a complete
expression unto itself is seen
in the exquisite juxtaposition 
of ram's heads
with relief of twin serpents handles.
