Circle of Friends Candleholder
An unusual clay candleholder, thought to be of Mexican origin. Consisting of seven crudely sculpted men with their arms around each other, symbolizing the unbroken circle of friendship.
An ancient native legend says that at the end of the evening, friends would gather around a bonfire and share their hearts. They would speak of the good qualities of each other and remember times shared. As the embers faded their friendship was said to be sealed anew, bringing them closer together.
