The image shows a pierced tin lantern. The lantern is cylindrical with a conical top, adorned with geometric patterns and star motifs cut out of the tin material. It has a metallic gray color and a smooth, slightly shiny surface texture. The front of the lantern features a small door with a latch and the top has a circular loop for hanging. In the background, there is a detailed drawing of the lantern's pattern. The sculpture appears to be designed as a functional object used for holding a light source, displayed upright to showcase its form and craftsmanship.
