'Objets d' art' at 'Amba Sevana', Ussapitiya, Sri Lanka..

A 'bubulu lampuwa' introduced by the Dutch during their rule in Ceylon. Coconut oil was poured into the glass bowl in the shape of an inverted bell. A 'floating wick' was lighted in the center of the coconut oil. It provided good illumination in the era when gas nor electric lights were heard of. I saw this at the 'Amba Sevana', Ussapitiya.

An unusual 'Chandeliar' I saw at 'Amba Sevana', Ussapitiya.
