This is a very fine and quite elegant example of a ceremonial oil lamp or "Jodog" an integral part of a Javanese ritual shrine. Hand crafted from solid teak wood, this old lamp features a well handled base surmounted by a elaborate set of "wings" hand painted and with intricate carvings throughout. This lamp was collected in the early 1980's by a Diplomats wife stationed in Java for over 8 years. I have never come across a finer made example. A Treasure of Indonesian art and culture. Measures 17 x 12.5 inches.

fair, very well handled
