The spirally fluted stem emerges from a stylized snake's head. The wick of the torch would have been wound round the prongs and then threaded through the ring to keep the lighted end upright. For a depiction of its use see an Etruscan bronze mirror in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, inv. no. 96.18.15.
