This hand carved altar stick was fashioned in a style prevalent in Europe in the 17th-18th centuries. Retaining its original, hand forged iron pricket, it features a broad, round, drip pan over a triform, waisted stem that rests atop a heavy, footed, triform base with fleur de lis carved details that are echoed on the upper portion. It is a very decorative piece and would be wonderful in a grouping of sticks.
