Neoclassical Style Patinated Garden Urn and Pedestal with Caryatid

This item is a large, ornate garden urn supported by an integrated pedestal featuring a caryatid figure. The overall height appears to be substantial, likely between 4 and 6 feet, given its scale relative to the surrounding furniture and house siding. The material is a cast composition, likely concrete, cast stone, or a similar heavy material, designed to mimic aged bronze or stone. It exhibits a distinct patinated finish, predominantly a weathered greenish-brown with areas of more vibrant verdigris green, especially within the recesses of the decorative elements, suggesting exposure to the elements and natural aging. The urn itself is wide and shallow, with a fluted rim and highly decorative handles that appear to be cast in the form of stylized griffins or grotesque figures. The body of the urn is adorned with intricate relief sculptures, including what appear to be human-like heads or masks amidst flowing foliage and perhaps shell motifs, all contributing to a classical or neoclassical aesthetic. Below the urn, a short, fluted column connects it to the pedestal base. The pedestal is the most distinctive feature, sculpted in the form of a caryatid, a draped female figure. She wears an elaborate headdress, possibly a crown or adorned hair, and what looks like scale armor or patterned adornment across her chest. Her arms appear to be integrated into or flank the structure supporting the urn. Beneath the caryatid, the pedestal transitions into a base featuring more mythical creatures, possibly winged beasts or gargoyles, with substantial clawed feet. The very bottom of the base is an octagonal or multi-sided plinth, further embellished with a prominent lion-like mask at the front, from which water might traditionally flow if this were a fountain element, though it appears to solely be an ornamental planter here. The condition shows significant weathering, consistent with an outdoor garden ornament, including areas of moss or algae growth, surface erosion, and color variation due to natural aging. There are no obvious signs of recent repairs or severe damage visible in the image, but the aged patina is a key characteristic. The craftsmanship is highly detailed, suggesting a piece designed to evoke classical grandeur, likely dating from the late 19th to mid-20th century, or a more contemporary reproduction in a historical style. The 'green' patination on certain raised features of the urn and base adds depth and highlights the sculptural details.
