The Sun Disc Candle Holder
The Sun Disc Candle Holder draws from the ancient symbol of Utu (Shamash) - the sun god who represented light not only as illumination, but as truth, justice, and divine witness. In early Mesopotamian thought, nothing existed outside of his sight; to be seen was to be known, and to be known was to be accountable.
This piece brings that idea into the present. A single flame rests at its center - quiet, steady, and intentional - transforming an everyday ritual into a moment of awareness. Whether lit at the start of your day or at its end, it serves as a subtle return to stillness, and to self. Carved from 100% Eastern Red Cedar, each piece features unique grain and natural tonal variation, including subtle pale streaks.
The amber glass holder sits recessed within the wood, allowing the flame to glow softly while remaining grounded in place. The wooden base measures approximately 5.5" in diameter and 0. 75" in height. The glass candle holder measures 2" in diameter and 1.3" in height, and sits approximately 1 /4" within the base.
Materials: 100% Eastern Red Cedar, amber glass
Finish: Tung oil finish
