A Bronze Candelabrum, Roman Imperial, circa 2nd Century A.D.

with tripod foliate base, stem decorated with overlapping pointed leaves, and flaring bowl with engraved encircling tendrils, the top (belonging?) with overhanging rim ornamented with beading and egg-and-dart.

Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, January 20th, 1967, no. 166

Unclear whether all three elements originally belonged together: foot is worn and covered with areas of bright green corrosion, tip of one leaf chipped; stem has dark olive green patina overall, one leaf tip broken off, and areas of thicker corrosion on both top and bottom; plate on top of bowl is slightly bent and appears to have been mostly painted black.
