Two-armed candlestick with a figure of a country man, The candlestick consists of four parts: the base, the male figure, two fat traps, two candle holders. The base and the fat traps are turned, the male figure and the candle holders are cast. The low round profiled foot is decorated with grooved rings and has a flat edge. The horizontal part of the foot is provided with a raised edge, and can thus serve as a fat trap. Towards the center, the foot turns into a bell-shaped elevation with an opening into which the trunk is screwed. This is in the form of a male figure dressed in the splits fashion of German countrymen, with mustache and sideburns, who has raised his arms. The man stands on a pedestal, which has a short thread at the bottom and is flat at the top and is more or less oval in circumference. There, the T mark was applied between the man's feet. His hands comprise two elements, in which the profiled candle holders are screwed onto the fat traps. These parts are also decorated with grooved rings. The candle holders placed on feet are hexagonal with two openings each in the form of a standing rectangle and a tripod. The foot is torn at the transition to the bell-shaped middle part and partially recovered. The dagger in the man's left is missing. The foot, the male figure and the fat traps are original, the candle holders, which are from the same time, but proportionally do not harmonize, probably not., anonymous, Neurenberg (possibly), c. 1500 - c. 1550, brass (alloy), engraving, h 30 cm × d 16.5 cm
