Cycladic Head I
The Piece
Round-faced female bust in minimalistic style. Cycladic heads are characterised by strong noses, long necks and smooth faces. These candles have a smooth surface and square base to make display easier.
The History
Cycladic heads are named after the Cyclades - a group of islands in the ancient Aegean in which they were found. The name means “encircling islands,” as the island formed a rough circle around the sacred island of Delos, the legendary birthplace of Gods Artemis and Apollo. However, the icons appeared in various other places throughout Greek history.
The Meaning
Cycladic sculptures are believed to represent females. They are a common symbol of female strength, mystery and a celebration of the female form.

VESY candles pay homage to icons + meanings of an ancient world. Every candle is handmade, eco-friendly, sustainable + the perfect addition to your space.
VESY candles are made to be put on display. To preserve the look and quality of your candle and prevent discolouration, always keep it away from drafts, air vents and sunlight.
Each candle is specially hand-poured. Variances may occur from one piece to another.
All VESY candles are intended as decorative home decor. However, if you wish to burn them please adhere to the following recommendations:
- Always trim the candle wick 3-5mm each time before lighting to ensure a clean, smoke-free burn.
- Allow wax to solidify between burns before trimming.
- Allow the candle to burn for at least one hour when first lit to allow for an adequate melt pool.
- To avoid damaging surfaces, furniture or other objects, please place your candle in a deep dish or on a heat-safe surface before lighting.
- Keep away from children, pets and any flammable items. As each candle is hand-poured, some variances may occur. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
- Due to the intricate designs, the wax melt can leak and drip excessively. We suggest you blow out the candle, wait for the wax to solidify (ensuring it is not hot) and place back on top to block the leak holes.
Expected dispatch is 1-3 working days.
