A knot in the shape of a bulb divides the stick and, in the top, a plate is defined lightly concave, wherefrom the punch is born where the candle was going in. The enamelled decoration centers specially in the base where, in each of three parts, a lion appears inside a circular medallion flanked by two fantastic animals.
