Description

Deccan lost-wax cast brass Hamsa lamp finial. The bird is engraved with feathers on the body and tail. Birds or Hamsas like this were often used as decorative elements on the top of oil lamps and doubled as an oil container for the lamp. In this case, an internal mechanism allowed the oil to pass, drop by drop, through a narrow, often faceted, spout on the breast of the bird into the bowl with the wicks beneath.
Hamsa is a mythical bird revered by Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains. It is seen as a symbol of purity, detachment and divine knowledge. Hamsa symbolizes the highest spiritual accomplishment as it swims in water, walks on earth and flies in the sky.
