Placed on an altar with various sacred offerings, butter lamps are an essential part of Buddhist ritual worship. This resplendent pair, still retaining their original covers, are richly molded in precious silver, and ornately incised with a rich, overall foliate design. The bowls of the lamps rise from ritual amrita vases, symbols of long life, and the sides of the bowls and the tops of the covers are ornamented with the Eight Auspicious Symbols. The crests surrounding the openings at the top of the cover depict arhats or lamas seated within a verdant landscape, and their openwork design would have allowed the smoke to billow through their apertures.
