GGP 049 Ash sculpture silver tin - Connected by our hearts

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 love between two people is immediately visible in this ash sculpture. The symbolism of love is central. You see two people holding each other and forming a heart with their arms. This ash sculpture is called 'connected by our hearts' and is 19 centimetres long, and can keep a small amount of your loved one’s ashes.
