This urn is a beautiful example of the wonderful grain in some maples. There is interest from every angle. The body of the urn contrasts wonderfully with the walnut finial.

The maple is a symbol of strength and endurance. It is also known as the tree of tolerance. Maples originated in Asia, and are now found in many areas of the northern hemisphere. The reddish maple leaf is a symbol of autumn. Depending on the species, in the autumn maple leaves may turn from green to spectacular yellow, orange or reddish tones.
