Lux Familiae

This hand modelled terracotta candle holder recounts the story of the family of Nazareth through 12 scenes ranging from the birth of Mary to the death of Joseph. The work is decorated with flowers and leaves and allegories of cherubs. The sculptural candle holder was made on the occasion of the Synod of the Family, and presented to Pope Francis.
