Tadelakt Diamond Candleholder

An evocative diamond-shaped candle holder in a gorgeous terracotta color with a bell-shaped base.  Both primitive and symbolic - you give it its meaning. 

Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan waterproof plaster technique, originally used for the baths and sinks of homes and palaces.  The word Tadelakt means "to rub" in Arabic, which hints at its labor-intensive application.  A mixture is made from lime plaster, natural olive soap, and limestone sand, and this paste is applied to a surface and then polished by hand with a stone or other hard object until it is smooth and seamless. 

4.5" W x 7.5" H. Handmade in Morocco.
