RANDOM PHOTO - THE 'HUSH BABY' CHERUBS


A few years ago, I found this at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, a place I would dearly love to go back to. It is a two-hour plus drive away and we thought it would be nice to stay overnight somewhere. Maybe in the Springtime.

I checked Google and found more information about this urn. It is called a Lead Cherub Urn or Putti Lead Finial, typically used as a decorative garden focal point. It features a central neoclassical-style urn garnished with floral garlands and two seated cherubs (or putti) on either side.

These specific figures are sometimes referred to as "hush baby" cherubs due to their finger-to-mouth pose.


Thanks for visiting and wherever you are, I hope you are having a great week.
