Circle of Seven Men — Tealight Holder

Hand-molded from clay, seven figures stand shoulder to shoulder in an unbroken circle, arms wrapped around one another in a close embrace, cradling a central recess designed to hold a single tealight. As the flame flickers within, warm light catches on every carved shoulder and clasped arm — a powerful symbol of brotherhood, solidarity, and the strength found in standing together. Finished in a rich, warm terracotta-brown wash, this piece carries the look of aged timber or sun-baked earth, full of natural depth and character.

Inspired by traditional Balinese clay-molding techniques passed down through generations of artisans, this piece captures the raw, tactile quality of handcrafted work — every fold, crease, and etched detail shaped by hand, meaning no two pieces are ever quite the same.
