Diya With Sharpa Finial - extremely rare find

Bring home a piece of sacred heritage with this extremely rare vintage brass diya, a masterfully crafted artifact crowned with a beautifully sculpted serpent (sharpa) finial. Forged from solid bronze, this elegant oil lamp stands tall on a tiered, circular base, its silhouette gracefully tapering upward into a flared stem that supports a delicately contoured, petal-shaped reservoir. Every curve and detail speaks to the artisan’s skill, and the presence of the coiled serpent—a revered symbol of protection, divine energy, and spiritual transformation in many Indian traditions—imbues the piece with powerful symbolism and timeless allure.

More than just a utilitarian object, this diya holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. Traditionally used to invoke light and dispel darkness in homes and temples, it also serves as a stunning focal point in any space, from personal altars to curated antique collections. Its surface carries the soft sheen and uneven texture of a true antique, with a warm, time-worn patina that reflects decades—if not centuries—of reverent use and passage through many hands and generations.

This diya is a rare find, a one-of-a-kind treasure that cannot be replicated. No reproductions exist, and no second piece like it is known—making it an extraordinary addition for discerning collectors and heritage decor enthusiasts alike.

Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that’s a part of its beauty and age.
