GGP 009 Ash sculpture silver tin - The rose, symbol of love

Our high-quality collection of ash sculptures is produced by the skilled craftsmen of Tin Foundry de Geest. This tin foundry has been around since 1978 when it was founded by owner Gert-Jan de Geest. Gert-Jan was instilled with the craft by his grandfather, who had his own tin foundry. The team at Tin Foundry de Geest consists of craftsmen with a passion for their craft.
 
The ash sculptures in this collection are made of tin. This is one of the oldest metals used by humans in the manufacture of various objects. Where it was originally used to make weapons, tin is nowadays widely used for household items and art pieces such as these unique ash sculptures.
 
The rose symbolises love, and this has been the case since the time of the ancient Greeks. The rose was associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The love for your deceased loved one will always remain. This rose has a small compartment where you can keep a very small amount of ashes.
