  • Tranquil

    I purchased these and they are so wonderful! They are beautiful and, when lit in a dark room, are great for helping to set an ambient mood when you want to relax.

  • Gorgeous!

    This product is truly amazing. My roommate purchased these and I immediately bought a set for myself as well as my sister.

Terra Cotta Hands CandleholderPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6601420

SKU# 6601420

Graceful ceramic hands, in whitewashed terra cotta, form this set of tea light holders. The hands are shaped in “mudra” gestures, an aspect of Eastern classical dance (description included with the set). The set comes in a crimson handmade paper box accented with gold painted designs.

The text inside the box reads: Handcrafted from terra cotta, these graceful tea light holders are created in the form of “mudra,” hand gestures of classical dance throughout the Indian subcontinent. In the “Jnana mudra,” the thumb touches the forefinger, with the palm up. This gesture symbolizes wisdom. In the “Varada mudra,” the open hand is facing upwards. This gesture symbolizes hope. Symbolically, these two hands holding tea lights convey the following invitation: “May wisdome guide you and hope sustain you.”
