Every layer is etched in small vertical striations and flower petals. You can place this lamp in any corner and even an unlit lamp of such a type can be an amazing embellishment to your interior decorations. The stem between the two diya trays is formed in a beautiful peacock design; four peacocks are carved in each of the four directions having their long tails touching the small base.
