    I think the circle of people holding hands is African? in origin? But I can't remember it's name if it has one.
    Any ideas on these candle holders? I like them but know nothing abut them.
    And there is no name that I can find to help look them up.
    Thanks

    What does it say on the impressed mark in the candle well? Does it help?

    Sometimes these groups of people are called circle of friends but I'd imagine there are other names.

    In that case they might be dancing the horah/hora.

    (You're welcome:). I can't tell you how many times I've been looking right at something and don't see it)

    I don't know if you found this. It's the same candle holders but in silver called Horra dancers. They also make things in brass and copper but I don't see these in that material. Maybe they're not in current production?

    I believe mine are brass - and that explains the Bier underneath
