A tall, wrought-iron funeral lantern mounted on a slender, baroque pedestal, designed as a static environmental prop for a crumbling cathedral courtyard or fog-drenched graveyard. The metal frame is twisted into thorn-like spirals that coil upward, their tips sharp and uneven, as if grown rather than forged. The iron is aged to a deep charcoal-black with subtle reddish rust bleeding through the seams and rivets.
