Lamp

This wooden lamp has several carved wooden bowls in two tiers. The lower tier has four bowls while the upper tier has two bowls and two horse-heads. The upper tier can be turned and so adjusted that the flames from the lower tier do not burn the upper tier. The lamp is mounted on a lotus-shaped broad base.
This light and portable lamp stand mainly carved and partly lac-turned is typical of wooden objects of everyday life of Gujarat and has aesthetic kinship with other objects such as the peg for hanging turbans, wooden chests, rolling pins for making roti, the Indian bread.
