The sculpture is a candlestick featuring a central figure of a seated man adorned with classical garb. The candlestick is made of ceramics with a cream or off-white base color, detailed with brown and green accents. The design includes intricate patterns and figures, such as naked putti or cherubic figures on the side and decorative faces on the base. Swirling leaf motifs accompany these figures. The sculpture stands upright with a wide base for stability and tapers upward to support the candleholder at the top.
