What Material Is This?

I found this marker in the Macedonia Cemetery in Stella, Mo.  It's hollow and kind of looks like metal but I'm not 100% sure.  I was wondering if it might be ceramic.  Anyone have any clues?

  2. You are right - ceramic. Found this picture of another monument just like yours.
