Candlestick on a square base that transitions to a round, moulded foot, which in turn transitions to a cylindrical, elongated shaft. From the shaft, four pairs of arched arms topped with candle sleeves diverge in a single plane. The base of the candlestick is richly decorated, with its side walls decorated with a Doric kimation and the corners adorned with a stylised floral ornament. Originally, an additional ninth sleeve – shames – was attached at the base of the arms - unfortunately, only its catch remains. Four marks are stamped on the candlestick:

– in an oval, the JG (?) monogram;

– mark of the assay office in Kraków: the number three (indicating the silver sample) in an oval, a woman's head in a headscarf facing left, the letter K (Kraków);

– additional hallmark for silver – a woman's head in a headscarf facing left within a circle;

– the fourth mark is illegible.

The object was purchased for the collection of the District Museum in Rzeszów in 1974.
