Korean Heritage Series_#1 백동 촛대 (A Cupronickel Candlestick)

This 3D asset is based on '백동 촛대 Baekdong chotdae', the Cupronickel Candlesticks, made in Joseon (1392~1897, Korea).
This candlestick has a decorative reflector. Probably, the reflectors were designed to amplify the candlelight.
However, the reflectors’ shapes become more elaborate and decorative over time​​​​​​​.
You can find double '喜' on the side of the candlestick's body. '喜' means joy and happiness, and usually, it was used for newly married couple.
