Comments

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

The lantern has been electrified.
