It is provided with a small oil- or butter-lamp of plain turned brass. The frame resembles a two-storeyed Chinese pavilion, formed of pink and green paper painted in gold and black with fret-design or double stripes, alternating with openwork panels of lotus-pattern painted with watercolours. Certain angle-pieces are rendered in cut silver-paper. In the roof of the pavilion is a cross-piece of cane from which hangs the revolving prayer-cylinder composed of a rotary wheel, a light tubular cane frame and a band of plain white paper stamped from a wood-block with two repetitions of invocations of Bodhisattvas and Saktis. A draught cylinder passes up inside the prayer-cylinder, made of the materials, which directs the air created by the oil-lamp at its base on to the wheel at the top of the prayer-cylinder.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper (fiber product)","id":"AAT14109"},{"text":"tissue paper","id":"AAT14145"},{"text":"watercolour (paint)","id":"AAT15045"},{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"},{"text":"brass","id":"AAT10946"},{"text":"bamboo","id":"AAT11873"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting (image-making)","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"gilding","id":"AAT53789"},{"text":"Cut-paper work","id":"x37708"},{"text":"openwork","id":"x32481"},{"text":"woodblock print","id":"x38448"},{"text":"turning","id":"AAT53158"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Paper, painted with watercolours and gilt, with some openwork paper-cutting and wood-block printing; bamboo framework.
