content: Vertical rectangle. Design for a candlestick, similar to 1938-88-608, but without the base with the figures of angels. Instead, seated griffins with garlands support the shaft, which consists of two pieces of fluted and foliated columns with the figure of a caryatid draped in garlands. One socket for a candle extends above.
