Our Dragon Lion Oil Lamp Set is made up of brass. It is finely handcrafted. The oil lamp is of lotus design, standing on the backbone of a Lion. This is a traditional butter lamp, a ritual implemented in Buddhist temples and monasteries throughout the Himalayan region.
Introduction to Butter lamp
An oil lamp is a lamp that uses an oil-based fuel source to provide light for an extended length of time continually. Even though it is less frequent today, oil lamps have been used for thousands of years and still are today. They function similarly to candles but use fuel that is liquid at room temperature, necessitating the use of an oil bottle. The oil is burned as it is dragged up a textile wick that is lowered into the liquid and lighted at the end.
