This piece functions as a menorah or a general candle holder.
It is chased and uses repoussé. The branches are hollow-formed tubes. It is a moment, frozen in time. Leaves, branches and berries have fallen on the forest floor in an arrangement that is spontaneous yet suggestive of a memory and special relationships.
