I have always loved the beauty of candlelight flickering behind stained glass windows in a church or temple. There is something so quiet and nourishing in the effect -- so sacred and holy. I feel the same way using these beautiful votive lanterns. The quality and colors in the pictures are deep and shine with a richness when a candle is lit inside. (There is a little holder inside for a votive.) The images are actually on paper that is held between two pieces of glass. The candle illuminates the paper as the light goes through the paper and glass, making the images come alive somehow, generating a deep sense of Presence that can permeate a room and bring it peace.
The Buddha image conveys a softness, a kind of androgyny that goes beyond a masculine deity form. This lantern is perfect to use on personal altars, to bring comfort and serenity to a hallway or entrance, or to give as a gift to someone who needs a steady, constant source of Light in their lives. Outlined in tin with an aged copper finish, the lanterns are four-sided (the same image is on all four sides) with one side that opens with a latch, so you can place votives inside and light them with ease. The design is simple and elegant, and they are sturdy enough to last a long time, bringing you an enduring source of comfort, beauty, and illumination! (Votive candle not included.)
