My husband was a jeweler and an artist. He passed away. I searched for the perfect piece of art to hold his ashes. I received this box this week. I couldn't be more pleased. The artwork would have pleased my husband. That was of prime importance to my choice and this artist would have received 5 stars from my Donald. Excellent work.
