The current traditional lamps display a range of experiments made by ancient craftsmen. There are instances when a Mayil Vilakku has been amalgamated with a Nila Vilakku. The design is further decorated with parrot motifs at the stand. This brass handmade lamp is a result of such experiments. It is divided into five major parts. The first is the intricate stand with vine strictures. The second one is the five-wick lamp attached to the stand. The third part is the stem ornamented with parrot motifs.
The fourth part is another set of wicks attached to the oil basin. The fifth and final part is the Annam or mythical peacock statue attached to the lamp in the form of a lid. The peacock motif works as a handle to the lid. The use of a lid is to allow equal flame from all the wicks. The peacock atop the lamp is elaborate and looks regal. This lamp is a very interesting item that carries the evidence of a milestone in traditional map design.
