Engraved Bronze Oil Lamp With 7 Spouts, Height 52 Cm, Ritual Object From Nepal, 19th Century
Artist: Art Du Népal
Ritual temple oil lamp.
Made of engraved bronze, this piece originates from Nepal.
The lamp has seven wicks and is crafted from high-quality bronze.
It features a hollow bowl for the oil and seven wicks.
The eight-faceted body is engraved with interlacing plant motifs.
Some of these lamps are topped with a sacred goose or a peacock.
The piece is in superb condition, as shown in the photos.
This type of oil lamp was already in use in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Dimensions: Height: 52 cm; base diameter: 20 cm; weight: 4,455 grs
The Hindus’ knowledge of metallurgy is profound and ancient.
The famous iron pillar of Chaudragoupta II in Delhi proves that as early as the 5th century, Indians were able to cast masses of iron far greater than any European foundry could have handled before the second half of the 19th century.
It is worth noting that, curiously, this pillar—exposed to the elements—has never suffered from rust, and the inscriptions on it remain as clear as when they were first engraved.
