This exquisitely crafted gilt bronze palace lantern is a traditional Japanese craft. Made with a copper base and gilded throughout, it boasts meticulous craftsmanship and a beautiful design. The lantern is hexagonal, with lotus bud and petal-shaped eaves at the top. The body is engraved with intertwined floral patterns, and a small, openable dragon-patterned door is located on the side. The base features a six-legged animal design. The overall lines are smooth, and the gilding exhibits natural wear and tear over time.
