Indonesian Transcendental Cloud Pillar Candle | Ivory Pearl - Unscented

Clouds, all carved and swirled, and not one of them is going to rain.

This transcendental cloud pillar candle in ivory pearl is from Indonesia, and is contemporary. It is unscented beeswax. Carved candles are a long-standing craft, and cloud scrolls are a classic motif in Asian decoration, generally associated with good fortune. Rows of stylized curling clouds, each with a tight spiral at the center, cover the cylinder in raised relief. A pearlescent finish gives the cream-colored wax a soft shimmer, and the smooth ground shows between the clouds. It is 10 inches high and 10 in diameter.

Heavy weather, handled with a knife.
