Untitled work
Description
Lanterne en tôle de fer peinte en noir, blanc, avec des traces de rouge. La forme générale reprend celle du dôme des cathédrales, à 6 faces présentant chacune une ouverture rectangulaire et des motifs ajourés, sauf une sur laquelle est aménagée l'ouverture. Les parties inférieure et supérieure sont de forme de pyramidale, à 6 faces ornées de motifs peints en blanc sur fond noir, dont certains sont accentués par perforation de la tôle : la partie inférieure est ornée de blasons au centre desquels se trouve un motif de flamme ; la partie supérieure est ornée de motifs d'étoiles à 5 branches et est surmontée d'un lanterneau, lui-même surmonté d'une croix. Chaque arête de la lanterne est enfin flanquée d'un cylindre de fer blanc ajouré. Aux bouts de chacun de ces cylindres se trouve un cône sur lesquel est soudé un disque ondulé.
