This piece strikes a pose, and a balance, between form and function, reminiscent of a dancing human figure. The upper portion is neatly balanced on the upright stand to create a piece of kinetic art which can spin and rock. Although it has tremendous balance, and would take quite a bit of force to knock it down, we don't recommend this sculptural piece in an environment frequented by small children. When the candle is lit, and the piece is given a spin, the shadows it casts are incredible!
