The candelabrum may have served as a decorative element to a funerary monument. It comprises a base and a shaft made from different stone materials: marble and limestone. The two elements were put together later and came from other sculptures. Known as "L'Antico" for his interpretation of the Antique, Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi worked for the Court of the Gonzagas on numerous occasions from 1493 as a bronze worker, sculptor and adviser on the purchase of ancient works.
