Isn't this a fantastic symbol at the center of this luminarium? I wanted to call it the Claddagh because I don't know what the term for it is, or if there even is one. But that's probably the closest thing. Delicious rough-hewn quality to this wooden piece. I'm sure it looks quite lovely with a candle burning in it and through it. For safety, remember that this is wood, so you would want to use a well protected (behind glass) smaller candle or possibly a battery powered tealight. If you use it out of doors, safety isn't as much an issue but indoors, please be very careful and do not use a very large or unprotected real candle.Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
