About the Item
This curious ceramic form is a sculptural Chinese candle stand or oil lamp from the late Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Rustic and highly textured, the sculptural ceramic form is thick with smoke residue and sediment, suggesting the lamp was frequently used for ritual purposes. The pillar stem is shaped as a robed figure kneeling upon one knee, likely depicting a religious devotee in prayer or meditation.
