Verified profile

Base of octagonal candlestick with concave faces; cutaway, added handle. On the various faces of the large central band, within polylobed arches, there are scenes with human and animal figures encrusted in silver with the addition of gold agemina, inspired by court or hunting scenes. In the fields cut out by the arches, a motif of flying ducks is repeated. In the narrow upper and lower bands appear theories of real or fantastic animals. The treatment of the figures reveals the links with the art of miniature and the influence of Sassanid models, in particular in the case of the sovereign seated frontally and the hero facing the lion.
