Candleholder (Candelero) Cut Tin

Hal Blakeley

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a grouping of geometric shapes, including a large cross-shaped form with rounded edges, on a plain background. Dotted lines create a circular pattern at the center with oval shapes extending outward from three sides. The overall design evokes a stylized shield or mechanical component, with rivet-like detailing indicating connections to industrial or metallic objects. A handle-like object is present at the bottom center.
