Metal Lantern

Gorgeous handmade intricate metal lantern made from recycled steel. Open it up and place a light or candle inside; perfect for lighting up the evening and setting a relaxing mood and enjoying the effect of its beauty.

Made in Haiti in the village of Croix des Bouquet, which is known as the capital of metal art in Haiti! Metal from recycled steel drums is cut, flattened, and put into a fire to be made malleable, then with chisel and hammer in hand, the artist cuts away all that is not the image. A beautiful piece of art is created.
