Four large red bunches of grapes hang from the cross piece and are separated by two large green grape leaves. At the top of the base is located a dark blue chalice supporting a white half circle (host) with a black cross in the center. A band of the same dark blue is at the bottom of the base and on all three actual candle holders.
