About this piece
Butter lamps are lit in rows in every monastery in the Himalaya and the form is completely settled: a wide bowl for the fuel, a narrow waist, a flared foot. The decoration is chased in after casting, one punch at a time.
The interior is left unlacquered so it can be cleaned properly between uses.

How it was made

Lost-wax cast, Patan

Care & keeping
Wipe with a dry cloth. A darkening patina is normal on hand-raised bronze and many owners prefer it; if you want it bright, use a little tamarind paste or a proprietary brass polish and buff dry. Never put it in a dishwasher.
