A traditional South Indian lamp. Made of bronze by inter-generational sculptors working exclusively with bronze. It is a tall structure with a closed-in silhouette. Instead of a long stem, like with your run-of-the-mill traditional South Indian lamp, the one you see on this page is a series of closed lamps placed one above the other.
These lamps progressively decrease in size as we go upwards. At the zenith of this lamp is a raised-hooded serpent. This serpent has five hoods. The multi-hooded snake is a recurring motif of Indian spiritual art. It even has a parasol on top, a miniscule aspect of the composition that derives heavily from traditional South Indian iconographical aesthetics. Its presence adds to the auspiciousness of this lamp, which in turn would make any corner of your home or office sacred.
There are six closed lamps in this bronze sculpture. Each has four wick-spaces, effectively translating to twenty-four lamps.
