About this work
The object is composed of two parts: the foot and the stem with candle holder. They are cast and then turned. The foot, which also serves as a drip pan, has a bulbous elevation in the middle, upon which the stem provided with one knop is riveted. This was then turned at the bottom. The almost cylindrical candle holder has two rectangular openings in the wall, which are in line with each other. The foot and stem are decorated with profiles. The object, which is damaged at the foot and holder, is a find from the ground.
