This is a hand-made candle holder from Mexico that is of pre-Colombian women sitting in a circle. There is a saying that goes with it.
Circle of Friends
The Indian legend says that at the end of the evening, friends would gather around the fire and share their hearts. They would each speak of the good qualities of others. It was said that if they shared memories while the embers faded their friendship was sealed, bringing them closer together. As you sit with a candle in the middle of your circle of friends it will surround and embrace all of those who sit with you and bring you all good luck.

That's a beautiful photo and beautiful story.
Wonderful photo! I have a very similar candle holder, won in a gift swap that we've never used. Now that I have the story to go with it though, I may just have to dig it out!
Wow that's so appropriate for today's prompt!
