Replica of a medieval candle holder. The original was made in Germany in the 13th century.The motive is a warrior which opens and sits inside the muzzle of a dragon.The warrior wears a conical nasal helmet with a mail aventail and probably a chain mail shirt as well.We therefor assume it is high-medieval.
Possibly it is referring to the Nibelungen saga (warrior=Siegfried?) and/or to another dragon slayer e.g. the holy George.
A beautiful candle stick casted from solid brass, though partially hollow from inside.
