**First Time At Auction**
Central Asia, Nepal, ca. early 19th century CE. A stunning ritualistic oil lamp cast from brass with ornate religious iconography. The spout features the elephant deity Ganesh, surrounded by a foliage arch and several attendants and lions. Above the rim is Vishnu, seated before the multiple headed cobra, Shesha. The tail of the serpent forms the handle, and a figure, likely a devotee, crouches on the back. The body and neck of the vessel is adorned with many floral motifs. On the shoulder is a register of skulls, and a concave foot supports this elaborate lamp. Sekunda lamps are popular for religious and social purposes, such as births, marriage, and death rituals. The body of the lamp stores the oil, and the oil is scooped out and placed on the dish, the area in front of Ganesh, with a wick. This large and intricate example was likely commissioned by a wealthy family and may have been carried during a marriage procession when the bride leaves the home of her parents. Size: 12.5" W x 12.625" H (31.8 cm x 32.1 cm)
Provenance: private New Jersey, USA collection; ex-Arte Primitivo; ex-collection Eliot Elisofon
