The lantern consists of six pieces. Beneath the broad grey roof is a light chamber with moon- and flower-shaped openings and geometric windows. A graceful heron or crane appears in relief on the shaft. On the other sides, weathered plant motifs emerge among soft red tones, grey, and dark traces of weathering and soot.

A distinctive ornament among greenery, beside a garden path or on a terrace. It has a beautiful presence even without a light source.

In attractive weathered condition, with surface wear and small chips along the edges consistent with outdoor use. See less
