The lamp has a small opening or spout, designed for the wick, near the base.
  • Top: The very top of the lamp features a pointed, conical-like element that is higher than the cylindrical elements.

Condition & Texture:

The lamp appears to have an aged, possibly weathered appearance, suggesting its age. The texture is likely slightly rough, due to the nature of the terracotta.

The lamp and stand appear to be one piece, as if they were made together as a single unit. The base of the stand is a round, flat plate with a raised edge. The background is a neutral, light gray color. The lighting is bright and even, and there are no visible shadows.

    • Stem: There is a cylindrical stem that elevates the main body of the burner above the base.
    • Main Body: The central part is spherical and decorated with lotus petals. The petals are intricately designed with ridges and small openings, which may serve both decorative and functional purposes, allowing smoke to escape.
    • Top: The top of the burner features a pointed finial, adding to the aesthetic appeal and possibly aiding in directing the smoke.
  4. Purpose: This object is likely used for burning incense, a practice common in various religious and cultural ceremonies to create a pleasant aroma and purify the air.
