Discover the Antikythera Mechanism Sculptural Candle – A Unique Handmade Decorative Candle
Hey friends! Today I want to tell you about this super cool sculptural candle we made — inspired by the ancient Antikythera Mechanism. If you’re into decorative candles, bust candles, or just unique handmade stuff, this one’s for you.
What’s the Antikythera Mechanism Anyway?
So, the Antikythera Mechanism is this amazing old artifact from ancient Greece, found in a shipwreck near the island of Antikythera back in 1901. It’s often called the world’s first analog computer — crazy, right? This thing was used to track astronomical events, like eclipses and planetary movements, way before digital tech even existed. It dates back to around 100 BC and has fascinated scientists and history buffs ever since.
The mechanism itself looks like a complex set of gears and dials, all carefully designed — pretty mind-blowing for something so old!
Our Candle Version
We thought, hey, why not bring a piece of history into your home? So we created this handmade sculptural candle based on the Antikythera Mechanism design.
Here’s the scoop:
-
Size: About 6.3 inches tall, 6.3 inches wide, and 1 inch thick (that’s 16 cm x 16 cm x 2.5 cm for the metric fans)
-
Material: Natural soy wax, which is eco-friendly and burns cleaner than regular wax
-
Scents: We randomly send either a fresh lavender or eucalyptus scent — both super refreshing and calming
It’s a unique decorative candle that makes a perfect gift or a cool art piece for your own space.
