This beautiful candle holder by Veronese is cast from a high quality polyresin compound and has been handpainted in a burnished bronze finish with coloured accents as shown. It features the Egyptian God Horus in a sitting pose with a candle receptacle in each hand. The detail in this piece is truly remarkable!

The candle holder stands 18cm in height with the base measuring 9.5cm x 6cm. The base is lined with black velvet to prevent slipping and damage to surfaces and the piece holds standard dining candles (not included). A truly stunning piece of Egyptian decor!

Horus is one of the oldest and most significant of the deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion. Most commonly, he is described as the son of Isis and Osiris but in another tradition Hathor is regarded as his mother and sometimes as his wife. Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the sky and god of war, and is frequently depicted with the head of a falcon.
