An ivory candlestick, carved as a tall vertical column, sits upon a tiered, square base. A cylindrical tower with a notched rim and narrow slits crowns the piece. Relief carvings decorate the shaft, featuring a full-length robed figure facing left in an arched niche between square blocks containing half-length figures. Repetitive circular patterns wrap the base and middle sections, while fine floral motifs decorate the sloping tiers of the pedestal.
