This beautifully handcrafted large lantern is delicately designed with handpicked and pressed Berberis leaves, on an upcycled glass jar, with a thin translucent Lokta paper, made from the regenerating bark of the Saa tree. The lantern glows with a soft warmth when lit, highlighting the vibrant Berberis leaves and the subtle Mulberry fibres of the handmade paper, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Lokta paper is acid and lignin free and is made in Nepal using a traditional handmade method. When harvested, the Lokta bush regenerates within 5–7 years. The oldest available manuscripts of Hindu and Buddhist texts are written on Lokta paper. The contents of a Buddhist prayer wheel contain a tightly-wound scroll of Lokta paper upon which a mantra is written thousands of times. It is also used in traditional medicine as an antiseptic bandage.
