Ox-Shaped Bronze Lamp Inlaid with Silver — 錯銀銅牛燈 Museum Inspired Magnet Replica

This DynastVault museum-inspired magnet replica takes the Ox-Shaped Bronze Lamp Inlaid with Silver as its visual reference. It is a contemporary product, distinct from the original artifact.

Artifact Story

Dating to the Eastern Han dynasty, the original bronze lamp was excavated in 1980 from Ganquan Tomb No. 2 in Hanjiang, Yangzhou, and is held by Nanjing Museum. Shaped as a standing ox, its lamp pan, adjustable shade panels and curved flue form an integrated structure designed to guide smoke toward the hollow body while controlling the direction of light.
