There are 6 cherubs, 3 on each side of the mold. SUPER RARE design handmade by Artist HAYES PARKER of crushed sandstone and plaster, hand molded and finished. This piece is unlike any other Hayes Parker pieces I've seen- the top does not dip down like a deep planter vase with a hollow center, but is specifically made with a FLAT TOP at the top surface to easily and beautifully display a large taper candle.
