A classical urn carved of sandstone depicting a bacchanal, mounted on a square plinth and stepped sandstone pedestal. The relief frieze shows maenads dancing and playing musical instruments, a garlanded herma of Pan before a fire, Dionysus riding a chariot drawn by panthers, drunken satrys, one clutching a maiden and riding a frenzied bull. The relief is badly weathered in parts. The inscriptions are in memory of two dogs, Tina and Tip, owned by Lady Adelaide Talbot and her husband Adelbert Wellington Brownlow Cust, 3rd Earl Brownlow.
