Antique Brass Candlestick Japanese Animal Motif Cast Metal Pillar Candle Holder

This Japanese antique brass candlestick is a stunning cast metal candlestick designed for Buddhist altar decor, featuring intricate animal motifs that include lions, birds, and elephants. Crafted from solid brass, this antique brass candlestick measures 3 inches wide, 8.7 inches high, and 3 inches deep (7.5cm x 22cm x 7.5cm), weighing 24.9 ounces (706 grams). It serves as a decorative brass candle stand and pillar candle holder that brings traditional Japanese decor and spiritual ambiance to any space.

The ornate metal candle holder showcases a rich combination of symbolic animals: three majestic lions form the base for stability and strength; vibrant bird engravings adorn the front and back, capturing lively movement; and the handles are shaped like elephants, symbolizing wisdom and power. This vintage Japanese brass piece originally belonged to a Mitsugusoku set—a traditional three-piece ensemble used in Buddhist altar settings—highlighting its cultural significance as a brass religious ornament.

Although the central pin for holding the candle is missing, this elephant design candle holder remains a beautiful lions and birds sculpture that can hold pillar candles securely or serve as an artistic decorative accent. The artist's signature engraved on the bottom confirms its authenticity and fine craftsmanship.
