A particularly interesting form, with its square base supported by four short feet. The transition from square base to round shaft is made through concentric circles cast into the base. The shaft rises purposely through a medial ring to the elongated candle socket.

Spanish, ca. 1690

Dimensions: Base: 4 ⅝”; Height: 9 ½”
