{"product_id":"11-chhaya-floral-jali-carved-lantern-trade","title":"11\" Chhaya Floral Jali Carved Lantern (Trade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFloral jali carving wraps all four sides of this cube pendant lantern, each face a lattice of looping arches with a carved blossom at its center and a small metal eyelet set into each bloom. Jali is the pierced lattice carving used in screens and windows across South Asia, and this design takes its cue from the jali windows of Rajasthan's old havelis. It is cut from raw cedar and left unfinished, so the wood keeps its pale natural tone. It is part of Chhaya, our collection of floral jali lanterns, designed by our team and handcarved by DE-COR artisans in Rajasthan, India. Chhaya is the Hindi word for shadow, named for the patterned shade these lanterns cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 11 1\/4 inches square and 12 inches tall, it comes with a 3 foot chain, so it hangs at an entry, over a dining table or in a corner beside a reading chair. It is not electrified, so let it hang as a carved object or set a flameless candle inside and let the light travel through the openwork onto the wall. Each lantern is carved by hand, and minor wear, scuffs and blemishes are part of its nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contemporary, handcrafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rajasthan, India.
