A cream-colored ivory candlestick rises from a tiered, rosette-carved square base. The shaft is composed of stacked blocks and a central tapering column, featuring figures in relief: a robed man with a staff, a crowned king within a Gothic arch, and a half-length figure. A crenellated tower with arched openings perches at the top. Fine, dark lines of age striate the material, emphasizing the delicate, architectural details of the carvings.
