These wall sconces are often considered to be a forerunner of the standing candlesticks. At the top one can see a warrior with a scimitar and in the other hand something looking like a head. This may be the story of Perseus. The candlestick also contains two bird bodies with two heads each and a crown. (two-headed eagle).
Historically interesting, also because much is still unclear.
