Lantern - Bronze - Pancha Alati 19th Century

Authentic Indian ritual oil lamp (Diya or Pancharati) from the 19th century, made in cast bronze, characterized by a structure with two circular bases connected by a horizontal arm. The long branch-shaped handle, attached to the main body by a decorative knot, is a classic design widespread in central and western India (regions such as Maharashtra or Gujarat).
The front features a cup for oil topped by a perforated dome-shaped cover (jali) that serves both as a diffuser for incense (dhoop) and as protection for the inner flame.
The dark patina, surface roughness, and oxidation indicate an object that has undergone long ritual use or prolonged exposure to the elements, consistent with artifacts dating to the late 19th or early 20th century.
