Finely cast brass devotional oil lamp commissioned and donated to a temple in the Kathmandu Valley almost certainly by an aristocratic donor.

The casting work is typical of finer work that was done in Patan undertaken by Newari craftsmen.

The lamp shows a seated male figure and a female relative on a rectangular raised platform.

Both have their hands in a devotional anjali mudra.

Before them there is an open lotus bloom that supports a small oil pan.
