The image shows a brass candlestick with a decorative base and a central holder at the center. The color palette consists of various shades of brass and gold, with highlights and shadows. A circular pattern similar to the candlestick's base is at the upper left, and the handle's ornate detail is at the upper right. The candlestick extends from a circular base at the bottom, with an intricate design partially exposed, and the handle curls upward before curving outward. The artist's name, Janet Riza, is inscribed at the bottom right.
