Our Circle of Friends T-Light Holder has been designed to resemble an artifact from ancient times. Handmade from terra-cotta Each of the friends arms are entwined, signifying the unbroken circle of friendship. Once a lit candle is placed in the center, the shadows that emit from the statuary dance around the room in a very enchanting motion. A perfect centerpiece for your altar (as their are 5 "friends" and each could represent the elements, and they are in the shape of a pentacle). These would also make a beautiful home decor piece as well. In Mexico, Central & South America, these statuary have been given as gifts for hundreds of years, making them a symbol of friendship and love.
