Monks and Jester

By barbm, 19 June, 2008
Description

This looks like a medieval candle holder that may have hung on a wall in a castle. It's aged (looks dirty), has a chip in the hood of one monk; has small round metal hooks for hanging; tow monks heads are hollowed out in a circle and the hollow of the jester is pointed.
