Enchanting 19th century Indian oil lamp, this unique oil lamp features the goddess Dipa Lakshmi standing gracefully atop a pedestal. The lamp's aged, darkened patina adds to its undeniable character, whispering stories of its rich history.
A handle on the back on this Indian statuette suggests it was once used in processions, perhaps illuminating religious ceremonies or festivities.
