Black Ankh Taper Candle Holder

A striking, sculptural taper candle holder shaped like the Egyptian ankh (symbol of life), finished in a matte black. The ankh form includes a small prong-style holder at the front to cradle a standard taper, and it’s mounted on a solid square block base for stability. This piece works well as moody gothic décor, modern boho styling, altar/ritual display, or an eye-catching accent on a bookshelf or entry table.
