Hand-carved Pair of Wooden Foot-Shaped Candle Holders Native Northwest Coast basket with round bodiesThese wonderful hand carved wooden feet, circa 1960s, are lightweight enough to throw in a suitcase or a picnic basket! so as to be to able to light a couple of candles wherever one goes. African and made of ebony, I believe, these would make a great gift for a traveller, but they're also happy just to stay at home! Sold as a pair. 3 1 8 long x 1 1 4 tall x 1 1 2 wide each and in great vintage condition.
