Vintage Japanese brass candle stand (shokudai), traditionally used as an altar fitting for a Buddhist household altar (butsudan). This beautifully crafted piece features a sculptural bird form standing on a tortoise base, symbolising longevity and harmony.
Richly patinated with age, it works equally well as a spiritual altar object or as a striking decorative statement.
