56. (24242) Candelabrum 



The three feet are connected by means of recurved leaves, volutes and 

 palmettes to the corners of a base, whose three sides are bordered with leaf-and- 

 dart patterns and whose edges bear bead patterns. The transition from base 

 to shaft is effected by three inverted palmette leaves. The fluted shaft is 

 apparently conceived as made up of separate rods, held together at one point 

 by a sort of ferule. From the shaft rises the vase-like top, decorated with 

 leaves.

57. (24231) Candelabrum 



Above the three claw feet is a plate-like member, elaborately ornamented 

 with concentric patterns on its upper surface and its edges. From a socket on 

 the center of the plate rises the fluted shaft. Above the shaft transitional 

 members lead to the vase-like top, all profusely decorated with floral and other 

 patterns, even on the upper surface where the lamp rested.

Above the three claw feet is a plate-like member, decorated with various 

 concentric patterns. From a socket on the center of the plate rises the fluted

 profusely decorated with floral and other patterns.

60. (24248) Candelabrum and Lamp 



The three feet, which imitate no natural form, are constructed as if hinged at 

 the middle. Above them is a plain disk, convex on its upper face. From the 

 center of this, without any ornamental socket, rises the fluted shaft. Above 

 the shaft is a simple, unornamented top. Furthermore, this candelabrum car- 

 ries a lateral lamp-rest, which can be slid up and down the shaft and held in 

 place by a pin. On this rest is a single-wick lamp, with ring handle and with 

 bead pattern around the upper surface.

61. (24249) Candelabrum 



The comparatively inartistic feet do not imitate any natural form. Above 

 them is a circular plate, bearing on its center a molded base, from which rises 

 the plain rectangular shaft. Two terminal bearded heads surmount the 

 shaft, one with ram's horns and ivy wreath representing Ammon, the other with 

 broad head-band, probably Dionysus. The smaller adjustable shaft bears a top 

 in the form of a vase (crater), with handles of twisted wire.
