Bazaar Lantern


This drawing depicts an "Orientalizing" lantern, worthy of a South Asian bazaar or perfumed party palace with belly dancers. But it isn't, it was made in the USA by a craftsman in West Virginia. And it doesn't light up, although it should. It hangs from the ceiling of a cafe in Falls Church, Virginia along with other similar structures. The name of the cafe is an entertaining "Happy Tart" and all their pastries and sweets are gluten-free.
