stone lantern

Zen garden fixture

A stone lantern is a decorative outdoor lamp carved from stone, traditionally used in Japanese gardens and temple grounds.

The classic form has a base, pillar, light chamber, and roof, originally designed to hold oil lamps or candles.

Stone lanterns mark pathways, frame water features, and create focal points in landscape design: The stone lantern glowed softly beside the koi pond.
