@Evrik: Hi! I was reviewing this for promotion, when I noticed that the article states: "made in the shape of a human torso, and the head as a lid". Are the urns themselves in the shape of a torso instead of a head? In that case, why should the hook say "head" instead of "torso"? I'd appreciate your clarification.
