Schwibbogen Design 'Bergmann' & 'Futterkrippe' - traditional german Christmas decoration

A Schwibbogen (German pronunciation: [ʃʋəb'boːɡən]) is a decorative candle-holder from the Ore Mountains region of Saxony, Germany. The first metal schwibbogen was made in 1740 in Johanngeorgenstadt. The early candle arches consisted of a single forged piece of black metal which could be painted.

This model contains a base and a front with the traditional 'Bergmann'-design and also ‘Futterkrippe’-design. The inside of the base is prepared to install a LED-strip to use this as a lamp. Recommended is a USB powered warm white colored LED-strip (2700-3000K).

To fix the USB cable in the hole you can use the 2 included parts. The one with the straight edge from the inside, the other from the outside. Push together and turn the outside a bit. The little hooks holding parts together.
