Notes
A masterpiece with a spherical body, its base is clear and slightly convex, it has an azimuthal handle with an oval section, and the opening in its facade is semicircular with a vertical conical protrusion inside. This piece presents decorations in the form of small cross-stitched bands, wavy engraved lines, and lines in white paint on a reddish background. This special tool was used for lighting in open spaces, in the form of a lamp. Its closed shape protected the torch from the wind, and its large, horizontal handle made it easy to carry. Restored piece.
