A delicate fragment of the past. This vintage brass diya depicts a traditional Mahout (rider) atop a stylized elephant—a timeless symbol of wisdom, strength, and good fortune in Indian heritage.
It features a charming, natural patina that speaks to its age. The casting is folk-style and imperfect, capturing the essence of a handcrafted village piece. The rider holds the oil lamp aloft, creating a functional vessel for your evening rituals. When the wick is lit directly in the brass bowl, the flame casts a warm glow over the elephant’s form, highlighting the handcrafted details.
We love it for its petite nature; it brings a touch of history without dominating the space. Lit with oil and a wick, it casts a gentle, flickering light perfect for a quiet corner.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that's a part of its beauty and age.
