Indonesian Transcendental Cloud Pillar Candle | Ivory Pearl - Unscented
About this piece
Clouds and ribbons of wind swirl around it in pearly relief, all the way up.
The Transcendental Cloud Pillar Candle in Ivory Pearl, unscented, comes from Indonesia and is contemporary, made of beeswax. Cloud scrolls are an ancient decorative motif across East and Southeast Asia, often read as symbols of good fortune and the heavens. This tall pillar is covered in deeply carved clouds that curl into spirals, with flowing bands of wind winding between them. The top is carved too, with a long ribbon twisting through a ring of clouds. The pale ivory surface has a soft pearly sheen. It is 30 inches high and 10 in diameter.
Almost too handsome to light, which may be the point.
