Black & White Glass Lantern

A group of artisans in Dakar, Senegal, hand paint the glass panels for these stunning decorative lanterns using a reverse glass painting method. Called fixe in Senegal, reverse glass painting has its roots in Senegal's Muslim history, and reaches back as an art form through the centuries and across borders.

This sweet candle lantern features four black-and-white painted fixe portraits inside a rustic metal frame. When a candle is lit inside the lantern, the illumination really makes the images glow.

Sold singly.
