A patinated bronze sculpture depicts a tall, slender candelabrum. A thin stem rises from four reclining lions to a forked top featuring small perching figures on decorative scrollwork. In a symmetrical composition, a nude Adam stands left holding a small object, while Eve stands right with cloth draped around her legs. Both support candle cups atop their heads. The piece rests on a circular, mottled cream and brown marble base.
