Description :

This pair of traditional Japanese cast iron pagoda-style lanterns features a multi-tiered roof design, reminiscent of the architectural elements found in Japanese pagodas. Each lantern is crafted from durable cast iron, known for its longevity and traditional aesthetic appeal. The lanterns stand on four curved legs that splay outward for stability, supporting the main body which showcases intricate cut-out patterns. These patterns allow light to emanate from within, creating a beautiful and functional piece of decor. The topmost section includes a vented roof with a finial that curves upwards, completing the iconic silhouette.

One of the lanterns has noticeable white staining on its surface, as shown in the photos, and both lanterns exhibit some minimal rusting, which is typical for items of this age and material. 

Japanese lanterns were originally used in Buddhist temples and later adopted in tea gardens and private residences. These lanterns symbolize guidance and enlightenment.

Measurements: 6.5 inches tall
