Miniature bronze sea turtle essence sculpture on a coral reef form, displayed on a walnut sideboard

The Essence™ sculpture is the smallest form in the bronze collection. Each miniature keepsake carries the same sculpted detail and hand-applied patina as its full-size counterpart, just at a scale that easily fits in the palm of a hand, travels between homes, or sits on a bedside table where it's seen every day. A small measure of cremated remains can be sealed inside a threaded stainless closure set into the felted underside of the base, so the piece reads only as a sculpture, giving you the choice of when to talk about what it holds.

Essence™ pieces are meant to be shared. Where a full-size bronze anchors a room, a set of Essence™ sculptures lets several people keep the same cherished loved one close, each in their own home.

The base is felted to protect furniture and centered on a machined stainless closure. Once the remains are placed, the chamber is sealed and the piece is turned upright. Nothing on the sculpture indicates what it holds, keeping it privately enclosed.
