Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a candlestick by an unknown artist. The candlestick has a wide, octagonal base with a shiny, reflective surface. The base narrows to a short, ornamental stem and then expands to a cylindrical shaft with stacked, rounded, protruding rings. A small handle protrudes from the right side of the shaft near the bottom. The top of the shaft has a short, flared rim. The background is light gray.
