The artisans use a metal alloy that is blackened with a locally found soil, and the piece is inlaid with brass and silver.The purchase of this handcrafted candleholder helps to support the artisans and preserve their craft.Each piece may vary slightly due to the nature of handcrafted goods.-copper+zinc metal alloy-brass inlay-4”x4"-fits a 0.75” diameter taper candleCare:-use with dripless candles to avoid wax from settling onto the metal-keep away from moisture-wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth if any liquid splashes on the piece-we use pure silver and brass wire for the inlay, which may tarnish over time. You can use a soft cloth lightly dipped in coconut oil and rub it over the piece to restore its original sheen and color
