This is a candle holder made of wood. It has a slight tilt. Please be aware of this beforehand. I seem to recall seeing a similar ceramic one at a shrine somewhere, so it may have been used at a shrine. It is an old item, so it has scratches and stains commensurate with its age. Height: Approximately 8.7cm There is a hole that does not go all the way through. Sizes are approximate. The actual item may differ slightly in color from the images. Please examine the description and images carefully before purchasing.
