About this work
The S-shaped arm tapers towards the stem into a stylized dolphin's head and outwards into a thickening where the screw hole is located. On this is screwed the round profiled candlestick holder, decorated with grooved rings, and the drip pan, profiled at the bottom and decorated with grooved rings. The arm, drip pan, and candlestick holder were cast using the same molds as the other arms, drip pans, and candlestick holders.
