Brazier made up of a layer of concave-based brass with a separating edge in relation to the wing that is framed and a polygonal, three-level wooden box with decorative motifs carved into the wood in relief that rests on bulbous feet. The lower level is decorated with rosettes and acanthus leaves on the angles. On this level there are corbels, adorned on their face side with a small garland, supporting the intermediate level, which has some engraved brass wings and the same decoration as the fist level. It has small balusters holding up the top level, decorated with acanthus leaves and rosettes alternately.
