Jamb Hook

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a tall, silver candlestick holder. The holder has a round base with a decorative design on it, and a long, thin stem that rises from the base. The stem is made up of several sections with different designs, including ridges and grooves. A small lever protrudes from the right side of the stem, near the middle. The top of the stem flares out into a wide, shallow dish. The background is a plain light gray color. The object is a candle holder by the artist "Jamb Hook".
