Austėja — beeswax cappings figure

A sculptural figure of Austėja, the Baltic goddess of bees, cast by hand from 100% pure beeswax cappings. She holds the honeycomb’s own colour — warm, unadorned gold — and the faint honeyed scent the wax already carries. Burn her as a slow flame, or leave her unlit as a small household deity. Cotton wick. Made in Latvia.

Handmade in the studio. Dispatch in 2–4 working days.

How to burn

Trim the wick to 5–6 mm. Burn on a heat-safe dish, out of draughts. Or leave her unlit as a small household figure.

Care
Why choose beeswax

  • Pure material

    Beeswax as the hive made it — no additives. A gentler burn for sensitive airways.

  • Longer burn

    It burns slower than paraffin, with less smoke, so the light lasts.

  • Cleaner air

    A clean burn, little soot when the wick is trimmed, and a light honey scent already in the wax.

  • Light and scent

    A warm gold glow, and a light honey scent that is already in the wax.

  • Kind to the earth

    No petroleum. Fully biodegradable.

Ingredients

100% pure beeswax from cappings. Cotton wick. Nothing else.

A home workshop cannot filter wax to factory grade. Tiny particles from the life of the hive may remain.

Safety
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep away from children, pets, draughts, and anything that can catch fire.
  • Always burn on a heat-resistant, stable holder or dish.
  • Trim the wick to 5 mm before each lighting.
  • Leave 5 cm of space between burning candles. Extinguish if the flame smokes or grows too high.
