Detailed description
St. Bernward candlestick (reduction), bronzed version

The intertwined human and animal bodies symbolise the struggle between good and evil.

Reduction. Cast metal, cast by hand, with bronzed surface. Height 35 cm. Shipped without a candle. Due to the material, which can melt if exposed to excessive heat, candles should not be burnt down completely. Do not leave burning candles unattended.
