The largest candlestick design is centrally positioned, displaying a tall shaft with curved supports. In the top left corner, there is a wide-based candlestick with a single candle. At the bottom of the central design, a three-legged base supports the structure. Additional smaller components of the candlesticks, including intricately detailed stems, are positioned around these larger items.
