Description (Physical description)
Gilded stand decorated with coloured pieces of glass. The stand is covered with red lacquer, visible on the top of the stand and around the rim of the bottom. The stand is decorated with rings of circular glass in green and silver, with a floral motif going around the top rim of the stand. Most of the glass originally seen on the flowers is now missing, with the occasional green, red or silver piece remaining. The bottom half of the stand is similar to the top, with an additional ring of petal like shapes.
