Description

Solid brass candelabrum, created by Hein while living in Argentina. He designed this to remind him of his home in Denmark, since the star constellation is not visible in the southern hemisphere. This is the first model designed of his candelabrum; the Big Bear is the production model after the Ursa Major was made.

Small production in brass.
