Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal candlestick with a wide, flared base that tapers into a series of stacked, rounded sections. A short, wide bowl-like section is positioned above the base. A long, thin stem rises from the bowl, supporting a smaller bowl-like section. Above this, a short, thin stem connects to a flat, circular tray with a small spike protruding from its center. The background is plain and light-colored. The artist is unidentified and the title of the piece is "Candlestick".
