stone lanterns

Carved rock lights

Stone lanterns are decorative outdoor lights made of carved stone, traditionally associated with Japanese and Chinese gardens.

They originated as votive offerings at Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines before becoming garden ornaments.

A typical stone lantern has a base, pedestal, light chamber, and cap, often weathered and moss-covered: Stone lanterns lined the path to the tea house.
