A lit candle sits within a glazed ceramic holder

A lit candle sits within a glazed ceramic holder. The holder sits on a decorative, patterned mat of grey, white, and gold flowers. The candle's flame is bright and illuminates the surrounding area. The candle casts a dark shadow onto the mat, creating a play of light and darkness. A mandala-patterned coaster is also below the holder, serving as a heat barrier. The entire scene is captured from a slightly high angle.
