I bought this at an estate sale. I’ll burn votive candles in it. The repaired crack was already there when I got it. I bought it for a few dollars.

What is it though?

    It looks like the candle holders we used to use in italy in front of tombs; some of the older ones have similar ones built in the headstones. Nowdays you mostly see big glass and metal boxes to house the plastic-shelled ones or the electic ones.

    I’ve shown this to someone with a religious upbringing and they’ve also said it looks Orthodox, possibly Greek or Russian but they’re not an expert, sorry
