Long description
The main support is twisted iron with a bent, pointed end. At the top of this, a short arm extends which ends in a ring which held the candle. There is also a smaller ring at the point from which the arm extends. The candle is held in place by a piece of flat, bent, iron which would press the candle into the iron ring. There is a bent finger hold attached to this. [MOBB [OPS move] 21/2/2017]
