Summary
A funeral decoration on a metal base with a glass domed cover. Under the glass are bunches of white unglazed ceramic flowers and a pair of clasped hands. The flowers, each on a thread covered wire, are mainly white daisy type with some larger blooms. These larger flowers are pink with tinted poppies, yellow tinted roses and others tinted orange. Under the flowers are moulded metal leaves, five of which are painted green, the rest are painted white. The leaves fold down to cover the base. The base is made of metal and the glass dome, which is edged with green painted metal, is held in place by three green spring clips. Fastened underneath are two prongs which fold away when not in use. Total number of items is 2.
