I picked this very, very heavy and old coffin planter at Urban Ore a few months ago and planted it out at my nursery. i love the Centaurs on it! i think it's made of cast stone and it's older - 20s to 50s is my guess. The pink flowers are a spring beauty i found in the wild a few years ago and introduced as "Petrolia Pink" Spring Beauties.
Coffin or coffer ?
coffin, i think... that's what those long narrow trough-like containers are called.
Sarcophagus?
Love your display, and would steal it for my garden ;-))
Coffin is derived from the French "coffer", meaning box, anyway.
thanks kyra! sarcophagus is correct!
