GGP 097 Ash sculpture silver tin - In perfect balance

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.
 
‘In perfect balance’ is the theme of this ash sculpture. You can see the yin-yang symbol in the well-known circular shape. Yin represents femininity and yang represents masculinity, for many people the symbol of balance. You can keep a small amount of your deceased loved one's ashes in the ash compartment of the sculpture.
