Candlestick with Figural Imagery
Unknown artist
This unusual nine‑sided candlestick is ornamented with figural scenes executed in an intricate inlay of precious metals, including silver and gold. Its decoration includes carefully drawn depictions of courtly pastimes—enthroned figures entertained by musicians and mounted riders playing polo or hunting.
