The Burnt Mustard Star Timer Taper will be a great rustic accent for your home ! The wax coated taper has a layer of grunge and a black star accent for a primitive look you are sure to love. Standing 6" high, the taper required two "AA" batteries, which are not included. It has a convenient timer feature that stays lit for six hours and turns off for 18. Just turn the bottom of the taper on at the time you want the 6 hours to start.
