Lotus Decorative Light Made from Capiz Shell – Black with a Gold-Colored Rim
This handmade lotus-shaped decorative light from the Philippines is made from Capiz shells, a unique natural product that has been used as a substitute for glass for centuries. The lotus is a powerful symbol of the journey from darkness to light, from ignorance to knowledge. It also symbolizes the seven chakras, the energy centers in the human body.
Capiz shells come from the Placuna placenta, also known as the window oyster. These shells owe their name to the city of Capiz on the island of Panay, where they were traditionally harvested from the shallow coastal waters. After careful cleaning, the shells are naturally translucent. Combined with their black color and golden rim, they create a warm and atmospheric play of light with a luxurious look when a light is placed inside them.
Capiz shells are a natural product and may have minor imperfections. This makes each mood lamp unique and highlights its handcrafted character. A stylish and meaningful decoration for meditation, relaxation, or as an atmospheric accent in your home.
