A painted enamel on copper candlestick features a black surface with white, gray, and gold decorations. The wide, flared base depicts a scene where the goddess Diana, holding a bow, stands among figures and stags. The segmented stem is adorned with white masks, garlands, and leaf motifs, leading to a cylindrical top with gold scrollwork. Thin gold borders and white interlocking bands encircle the various sections of its vertical form.
