Does your gothic church, crypt, or castle need atmospheric lighting? This solid stone plinth features a metal spike (called a pricket) designed for large, heavy candles. Its weathered surface and sturdy base give it the look of something that’s lit up dark halls for centuries. It is tailor-made for historical or fantasy-inspired setups, but flexible enough to be used in any mysterious environment.

Historical fact about why you might need a pricket in your scene: In the Middle Ages, the standard candle holders we use today weren't the norm for large spaces. In wealthy places like churches and castles, people impaled massive candles on a sharp iron spike called a "pricket." These wealthy locations could afford clean, sweet-smelling beeswax candles for their prickets. In contrast, regular everyday people couldn't afford beeswax and had to use cheap "tallow" candles made from animal fat, which smoked terribly and smelled like burning meat. A sturdy stone pricket like this immediately tells your audience that they are exploring a wealthy or sacred place!

To get you started and set the mood, the pack includes three weathered candles, so you won't have to worry about an empty spike!

Designed to tell a story. Rather than a basic real-world scan, I take artistic liberties with the design, creating specific details so the model stands out and adds distinct character to your environment.
