These circle of friends dancers will never let go of each other's arms. Inextricably entwined, they represent an ancient pre-Colombian ceremonial dance symbolizing the unbroken circle of friendship. Made in western Mexico, each dancer is individually shaped by hand from terra-cotta. When fixed upon the base, its arms are joined with those of its companions. Once each dancer has taken its place, the piece is fired in a wood-burning kiln in rustic warm earth tones. No two are actually alike.This candle holder makes a perfect gift for a friend or a wonderful table piece for a dinner party with those you love best. Place a candle on the middle tray and let the friendships last forever. Each "circle of friends candle holder" comes with a card describing the ancient native legend.
