5 STARS IS FOR NOT NEEDING A CANDLE TO LOOK GOOD! Honestly, the front side reflects light beautifully from any nearby light source! Its hammered surface creates a unique blend of light and shadow - the raised spots reflecting light, creating shadows on the indented spots.
*Last thing - how I decorated with it differently. Looking at tall bookcases/cabinets for a good spot. Before I stepped back to view the whole space, I carefully sat it on the nearest shelf. When I walked back, I saw its random "resting spot" was in front of a small circular mirror standing at the back of shelf. The mirrored surface behind it made it stand out even more! I did try it in front of larger and different shaped mirrors and feel any mirrored background highlights it. I went with the circular one once I saw the mirror is 7 inches in diameter - almost a perfect size backdrop for the dimensions of the nativity!
