This image shows a tall, ornate metal candlestick with a figure standing on its base. The figure holds a candle above its head, and the whole piece has swirling, detailed designs. Below it, there are rows of small, rectangular metal plates with raised images and text. The text says this is a gilded bronze piece made in 1758, based on a silver model. It looks like something you’d find in a wealthy home or church. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more objects like this.
