Authentic reconstruction of a Medieval Wooden Lantern with original Rawhide (Parchment) from thin leather. The lantern consists of two hexagonal wooden plates, connected to each other by means of poles. The candle, or rather the drip pan, in which the candle stands, can be drawn upwards at a wooden pole. This way it’s very easy to light up or even to replace the candle.
This lamp is a perfect prop for Re-enactment, but is also useful in the home and garden. 
The lantern has a stretcher from steel.
