urn. Lidded ovaloid
vase on a circular
plan used in Classical Antiquity to contain cremated remains. It was a form later revived for purposes of architectural decoration, on
balustrade pedestals, set in
niches, used as garden-ornaments, employed in funerary monuments (often draped, or with a portrait-medallion of the deceased on its side, especially in Neo-Classical examples), shown in relief on
friezes, etc., and sometimes with representations of flames issuing from the lid.
