Candlestick Pair

Cleveland Museum of Art

Ivory pair of candlesticks, "Candlestick Pair". Two identical, intricately carved ivory candlesticks with square bases and four sides. The base features an etched design around the edges. A small lip projects from the top of the base supporting a short square block; below the block on three sides, a figure is carved in low relief. The block supports a longer, thinner, square pillar, carved on four sides with figures in low relief. The top of the pillar is decorated with a band and a short cylindrical section with two holes on one candlestick and one on the other; the tops are crenellated. Gray background.
