"Large Oil Lamp With Seven Nozzles In Gold Bronze Kerala"
Oil lamp with seven nozzles, (19th or earlier) formerly gilded bronze 60 X 25 cm. Although very rugged, certainly bent following a fall, leaded at the base, a metal graft, various indentations, very worn gilding, inscriptions (perhaps to be compared to Hebrew) were subsequently chiseled to me. -it, it seems very old to me and I have never seen one like it. The shape reminds me more of the Indo Muslim world, with its slightly lotiform grip, but no certainty and all information will be welcome!
Dernière Minute ! Grâce à Mathieu Salesse, je sais maintenant qu'il s'agit d'une lampe de temple du Kérala en Inde du sud !
