This finely crafted bronze night lamp from Karnataka showcases the region’s exceptional metalworking traditions and artistic finesse. Shaped into a hollow sphere, the lamp features delicate openwork (jali) with intricate floral and foliate motifs, allowing light to gently filter through its patterned surface. Designed to hold a small flame or oil lamp within, it would emit a soft, diffused glow—ideal for night-time use. Such lamps were not only functional but also ornamental, often used in homes and temples to create a serene and sacred ambiance. The craftsmanship reflects both utility and an appreciation for beauty in daily life.
