Two silver-colored metal urns with wide, flared mouths and narrow bases. Square bases support the urns. The bodies of the urns feature engraved designs. One urn depicts an interior scene with columns and archways. The other urn shows an exterior scene with buildings and a street. Both urns have decorative borders at the top and bottom of the engraved scenes. Each urn has two handles, one on either side, shaped like animal heads. The image is in black and white. The urns are titled "Urn" and are by an unspecified artist.
