DETAILS
This unusually tall, traditional, antique Indian oil lamp is known as a diya. This antique oil lamp was crafted with five wick holders on the oil well, that is surmounted by a pierced handle. The height adjuster has a handle in the form of a human hand and the bottom of the column features wonderful, baluster turnings. The drip pan is finished with incised rings and sits atop three paw feet. It offers many decorating possibilities in the modern home, and could easily convert to a table lamp.
