Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two views of a candlestick titled "Candlestick" by artist unknown. The candlestick has a bird base with a round dish shaped base featuring a pattern. The bird has a long neck and appears to have feathers. One view shows the side profile of the bird with its head turned to the right and the other view shows the bird from behind with its wings spread out. A thin spike rises from the top of each candlestick. The background is light gray.
