Abstract

A novelty candle includes an exterior meltable body made of wax which has a first predetermined configuration, such as a human hand, and in interior body formed of a generally non-meltable material, such as a stone-like material, is embedded within the hand. The interior body, in the form of skeletal components of a human hand is smaller than but otherwise substantially corresponds to the shape of the hand. One or more wicks are used to gradually burn and/or melt away the outer wax shell or layer to gradually expose the skeletal components. A surface coloration coating may be used on the wax shell to simulate the skin of a hand, and the wax may be given a color, such as red, to simulate blood when the outer shell melts and drips on the portion of the hand that remains. A candle is also described in the form of a coffin made of wax which gradually exposes a skeleton when the wicks of the candle are lit and the coffin melts away.
