Eight Trigrams of Yi Ching - Candle Holder





The sides of the sculpture have four of the Eight Trigrams of Yi Ching crved into them.  When a lit candle is placed in the center, the cutouts are projected onto nearby walls. Along the top rim are Chinese characters that correspond to each of the Eight Trigrams. The shadows it casts are faint so I had to hold a piece of paper up to it to see the shadows clearly. It is made of white clay.
