The arms are ornate and embellished with floral and leaf patterns. Each arm curves upward and contains a cup shaped holder for a candle underneath which is a drip basin. The body of the candelabrum displays the state seal while the other side displays the NAVY emblem. Each symbol is displayed under an eagle and flanked by double swagged flags and cacti. Two saguaros climb up the body of the candelabrum. The base has waves and aquatic vegetation supported by four feet, each in the shape of a dolphin head.Date Original1916Date Range1910s (1910-1919)TypePhysical ObjectOriginal FormatSterling silverContributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionUSS Arizona Silver Service CollectionRights StatementIN COPYRIGHT
