Japanese Antique Brass metal Gold candle holder carving Flower Shape Candlestick metal Lantern Shokudai From Buddhist temple H8.7in/H22cm.

The shape of the lotus flower is expressed in its entirety.
The lotus flower has a very important meaning in Buddhist terms. Old sayings such as "the lotus in the mud" and "the lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained by the mud" are based on the Buddhist concept of the lotus flower that blooms a large lotus flower (enlightenment) even if it is born in the mundane world symbolized by mud.
In other words, the word "lotus" that was introduced to Japan from China is basically thought to be the lotus whose flower does not touch the surface of the water, and the lotus has been regarded as a symbol of purity.

It is a graceful and luxurious candlestick, so it is recommended to just display it.
It is slightly tilted. The gold color of this item is made more atmospheric by the color of aging.
