The trunk has a straight-walled crown, on which three wound laurel garlands depend on nails. The arched top is decorated with stylized leaves. Above that, separated from the stem by a convex profile, the candle holder arises, which is in the form of a stylized flower whose petals are held together by a band engraved with a curved edge on roughened ground.
