The sculpture is a candle holder with intricate details, including figures resembling cherubs or putti near the base, floral and scroll motifs, and three decorated legs. It is made of metal with a dark patina, giving it an aged appearance. The candle holder has a flat platform supporting a plain white pillar candle, reflecting a baroque or rococo style with elaborate craftsmanship.
