This mid-20th century brass samai lamp from Maharashtra features a beautifully intricate design. The ribbed stem ascends to the oil holder at the top, which has seven petal-like projections for holding wicks. At the base of the stem is a kumbha-like cushion element that transitions into the circular oil drop pan. This design is emblematic of lamps made in parts of Maharashtra during this period.
Care instructions: Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, dampness, heat or cold.
