Comments

The tall, square lantern has rectangular panes of glass slid into place on all four sides.  Three horizontal strap-metal bars across the openings protect the glass. The roof is pyramidal with holes in circles to allow heat to dissipate.  A circular strap handle attaches to the peak of the roof. 

The lantern is electrified.
