Candlestick, two-armed, the legs supported with lions (title on object), The candlestick consists of a foot with a trunk placed on three legs. This is cast in one piece. The two-armed turner is placed on top of which two candle holders are screwed in the ends. The slightly rising foot, which is provided with fine grooved rings, has a raised edge, so that it can also serve as a fat trap. The legs have seated lions. The profiled hexagonal trunk has a round knot at the bottom and a hexagonal knot in the middle and is tapered so that the upper part can be used as a candle pin. The turner has a hexagonal hole in the middle. The two arms end in dragon heads with two legs underneath. The two eight-sided front and rear perforated holders are screwed onto vertical annular feet. The foot has been restored to the bottom and to the edge, probably by the watering can who made the object. One leg has been re-attached., anonymous, Northern Netherlands (possibly), before 1400 - before 1450, brass (alloy), founding, h 34 cm d 14.8 cm
