Moon Lantern

No. 17 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA round brass lantern hung on a long chain in front of a large new crescent. The lantern's amber and the moon's pale gold overlap in one soft halo, and stars fill the indigo around them.

What it meansThe crescent starts the month and the lantern lights it: the two signs of Ramadan in one frame, with the light of one indistinguishable from the other.

Where it worksThe two signs of the month in a single image. For a bedroom, a hallway or as the centre of a gallery wall with the other night prints.
